Hi the alleria21,
it worked OK for me. ;)
If it does not work for you, and the two files are in the same location, then
check that your css file name does in fact correspond with that used here...
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />

Hi there alleria21,
as I said in my previous post, it worked OK for me.
I created two files from the exact code that you provided and named the css file "styles.css".
The html page was tested in IE9, Firefox 16.0.2, Opera 12.02 and Safari 5.1.7.
You must be in error, somewhere, if it is not working for you. ;)

Never mind where the files are physically located. Is the URL of the html file (what you see in your browser's address bar) the same as the html's "real" location?
For live sites it is always safer to use site-absolute links beginning in / (slash = top level of your domain). It makes local testing a little trickier, because you'll have to run it through a pseudo-server like MAMP or WAMP. But that's not hard.

Did you give the files read permission or are they restricted?

:: belated D'oh! moment ::
What do your logs say? You should see requests for the stylesheet. Are they asking for the right file in the right place? What response does the request get?

The files are executing as Admin that means all rights are open :P could you tell me where i can see the request logs lucy24? :D

Is all this happening in a "live" site or are you testing locally? I'd assumed live. (Not necessarily open to the public, but online.) How and where you find the logs depends on your host. If you don't have access to the raw logs, change hosts ;)
If you're working on a local pseudo-server like WAMP, the logs are hiding somewhere in its folder.
:: detour to look, because I've never bothered about mine ::
Oh. Guess I'd have to change something in the config file, because I can only find error logs. Those should be enough though, because they say what the request is and what response it gets. (Again: That's for MAMP. My real site logs live in the same place as the real error logs. It's a separate login-- haha --from the site itself.)
You can also use an extension like Firefox's Live Headers to track each request separately. And then save the output for careful reading later.
Is this a hand-coded site or is there a CMS involved?

If you look at error logs or something with Live Headers, do you see a request for this file? Have you tried deleting the line and re-typing it manually to make sure no invisible entities sneaked in? Every now and then someone has a problem which turns out to involve a Zero-Width Space or a misplaced BOM.

there might be an issue with the type of html being used here (XHTML) read that there issues involved when linking CSS and JS scripts :P i will try the live headers and post results.Thanks in advance lucy24 :D

Sounds like a permissions problem, check the permissions of the css file

If it were a permissions issue it would show up in logs, probably as a 401. But the request would definitely be present.
