Incosistant style in style sheet and html doc

I am having problems with applying a style on a style sheet.

I have created a div and created a class. In the style sheet file I did the
following:

div.TopBar {
background: Silver url(Images/BlueBar.jpg) repeat-x;
}

In the html I did the following:


Contact Us


And I do not get the background bar that is the image.

If I do an "inline" style as below:


Contact Us


Then it works. What gives is it perhaps my html header? Do I need to change
the doctype:

<div class="TopBar" style="background: Silver url(Images/BlueBar.jpg)
repeat-x"><a href="pages/contactus.htm">Contact Us</a><BR></div>

Don't multi-post.

Do post a URL to the affected page.

These problems are sensitive to typos. It's too much wasted effort to
try and debug a fragment that probably isn't even the same as the real
page with the problem. If you don't post URLs, then most useful people
will simply ignore you.
