</style>

Remove the style tags from the beginning and end. :)

but it is an external style sheet, is'nt it sapost to be like that?cuz
evrey thing else works

on an external style sheet, take out the STYLE and COMMENT tags.

basically, the LINK tag on the html page takes care of that part of the equation.

erm now my sroll bar is defult and my bacgdround still won't show..

Umm... why do you have your body parts of the stylesheet in different places? ok... make sure you have this tag in your head...
<LINK href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

And try this as your css file:

body {background-image:url(ifram_bg.gif);
background-attachment:fixed;
background-color:838383;
scrollbar-face-color : #494949;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #494949;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #ABABAB;
scrollbar-shadow-color : #494949;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #494949;
scrollbar-track-color : #494949;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #FFFFFF;
}


A:link
{ text- decoration:none;backgroun
d:0A0A0A;font-size:#3pt;color:#656565}
A:visited
{ text-decoration: line- through;color:#656565;fon
t-size:#3pt}
A:active
{ text-decoration: underline;color:#7656565;
font-size:#3pt}
A:hover
{ text-decoration:none;font- weight:italic;color:EAEAE
A;

cursor: ne-resize}



body,tr,td, h6, p, li
{font-size: 8pt;
font-family: arial;
color:#FFFFFF;
line-height:15px;
letter-spacing:0pt;



h6
{font-size: 8pt;
font-weight:normal;}

input, textarea
{color: #000000;
background: #F0F0F0;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: tahoma;
text-align: center;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: groove;
border-color:#000000;
filter: alpha(opacity=25);}

Try it now...

within 5 minutes, please use the edit button. --Moderator

it looks like you are missing a starting { on one of your BODY css parts. also a couple of extra spaces and missing semicolons.

give this a go for your external style sheet...

body {
background-image:url(ifram_bg.gif);
background-attachment:fixed;
background-color:#838383;
scrollbar-face-color : #494949;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #494949;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #ABABAB;
scrollbar-shadow-color : #494949;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #494949;
scrollbar-track-color : #494949;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #FFFFFF;
}
A:link{text-decoration:none;background-color:#0A0A0A;font-size:3pt;color:#656565;}
A:visited{text-decoration:line-through;color:#656565;font-size:3pt;}
A:active{text-decoration:underline;color:#765656;font-size:3pt;}
A:hover{text-decoration:none;font-weight:italic;color:#EAEAEA;cursor:ne-resize;}
body,tr,td, h6, p, li
{font-size: 8pt;
font-family: arial;
color:#FFFFFF;
line-height:15px;
letter-spacing:0pt;
h6
{font-size: 8pt;
font-weight:normal}
input, textarea
{color: #000000;
background-color: #F0F0F0;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: tahoma;
text-align: center;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: groove;
border-color:#000000;
filter: alpha(opacity=25);
}

** be sure to delete any spaces between text - decoration and font-weight parts and put some words back together onto the same lines to make a full word. this forum does some wierd stuff on some coding **

nope, still is not working... ill try something else, thank you for your help.

Do you have your page uploaded? Cause if these things aren't working, and they should be, if you have it online, we can see and figure out what's wrong.
