Stylesheet problem

[ashay]

I have a statement like
<tr>
<td colspan="3" class="color1">&nbsp;</td>
<td colspan="2" class="color2">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
in my page and i have a stylesheet defined as
<style type="text/css">
.color1
{
text-align: center;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9pt;
background-color: #F8DA31;
vertical-align: middle
}
.color2
{
text-align: center;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9pt;
background-color: #1C37C2;
vertical-align: middle
}
</style>

i see the background color for color2 but I cannot see the background color for color1 (#F8DA31)..can anybody say why so?.... is it that if i have to similar patterns in stylesheet, for diffrent backgrounds, only one gets shown?

hmm...I don't know. it works for me. I cut and paste all of your code into a new html file and it shows boths colors. maybe show us the rest of your document?

well the style sheet is a diffrent file and it is generated accordong to some conditions...all the things are not on the same page...do u think that might be the problem?

well..it shouldn't be. are there two external CSS sheets? That might screw it over...I've never tried doing that.

umm..we'd really have to see some of your code to do much more. for the simple fact that it works with just the code you've given us.
