inline styles

Wondering why my inline style is failing

here is the content.html page that I am calling.
<!-- content4.html -->

<div style"width: 770px; text-align:left;">
<h1> Page 4 </h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy
eirmod tempor</p>
</div>

<!--end content4.html -->
The parent tag is <div align="center"> and seems to dominate.
It should be easy enough; can't figure why it is so much trouble.

insight appreciated
Thank You
Kevin

Inline styles are _bad_. Don't do inline styles, mm'kay? Just kidding;
this is now among the least of your problems.

div style"width: 770px; text-align:left;"

You have syntax error in your HTML markup. Fix it first. Use a validator
if needed.

Then consider CSS issues, like the question "Do I really want to
alienate all users who wish to view my page comfortably in a 600 pixels
wide window?" (600 pixels is pretty much but sometimes convenient when
you wish to devote e.g. an entire half of the screen to a browser
window)

insight appreciated

Insight not needed here. No reason to waste creative potential to
dealing with simple technicalities. Save your cortex for better use, and
use a validator (and manuals or references).
