This is my first attempt at utilizing an external style sheet and it doesn't seem to be working out to well.
I put together a small page and got it looking and working the way I wanted. I cut the css code from it and put it to a new page for my *.css page.
Now I am putting together a second page. I filled it with junk to make the page bigger than the first so I could see how to make changes to the css for other pages.
Well, in this particular case, I need the height of my 3 columns to be bigger. Originally the *.css file has the heights set around 550px. I tried to change the heights for the new page to 800px and it did absolutely nothing and I can't figure out why.
This is the code for the second page if someone could take a look at it and tell me what I did wrong:
