CSS not styling page

    Hi, I’m working on a wordpress site locally using MAMP. I’ve created a few static pages such as home, collection and boutique and styled them using style.css and it works!

    However, I just created a static contact page with a form (I am not using any wordpress form plugin). I also placed in the form styling in the style.css file. However, when I view the contact page, the form is not styled in any way. I’ve already checked my markup and there aren’t any errors and styling works well in dreamweaver. Also, I double checked and I did call my header.php file in my contact page just as with my other static pages.

    Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

    sometimes ths css is not specific enough, and overwritten by som e more specific style somewhere else;

    -try to add !important to each format in your style, like so:

    .mystyle { color: green!important; border: none!important; }

    and sometimes, a small typing mistake is stopping the styles from being executed (you should be albe to see this in dreamweaver with the syntax highlighting; and maybe with the css validator);

    -try and move the new styles to the top of the stylesheet to see if that works.
