Pardon my ignorance as I am only a novice.....what do I need to do to
remedy the situation???

And am I right at thinking these errors are on my stylesheet at lines 5

Thanks in advance

This should be considered as a criminal offense.

Yes. Make the spelling correction noted (background-color, with a
hypen, not a space.) While you're at it, how about also fixing the
font size? I had to use FireFox's text zoom feature to be able to
read your 8pt and 9pt text comfortably, but then your fixed width
table layout started breaking...

If you must use a table for layout, try setting the table width in
em units (in css), so that it will scale with the user's preferred
font size. Your table also looks weird if the window is wider than
the table, a bit like you couldn't afford to pay for all those
missing pixels.

And while you're fixing things, here's something else I noticed:

try font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; rather than the lines you
have here. I assuming you don't mean to specify a font-family named
"helevicta" (at least, you should know I don't have it on *my* machine).
And the generic specifier should come last, in case none of the named
font-families are available. Therefore, sans-serif should be last.

Others have commented on the errors in your CSS-markup, like
background-color.

I will suggest that you do not create border of a table that way -
body and table within is not the right way. Simply add a border in
your table, thus
border: 5px ridge #aoaoao;

and dispense with your body stuff.
