CSS works for IE but not Firefox

I've designed a fairly simple site that I want to take advantage of
CSS in. Unfortunately, the bit I've used so far only seems to show up
when viewed with IE and not Firefox (not sure about Mozilla at the
moment).

Here's the link from the applicable page:

<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="dough1.css"
TITLE="dough">

And here's the css file referenced:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
BODY { color: #33CCCC; background: #800080; }

-->
</style>

I'm a total noob so feel free to hit me with obvious corrections.

Remove
<style type="text/css">
<!--
and
-->
</style>

from the css file you are including. <style type="text/css">... </style>
are only used for styles defined within the html page. They are not used in
an included css file.

<!-- and --> are html comments. They were only useful with css in very old
browsers. They serve no practical purpose within a css definition nowadays.

Thanks, that did the trick. I knew it had to be something dead simple.

CSS works is not just for the Internet Explorer but it is also for the
Firefox too. We can encode it as an HTML document.
