I designed my layout and I had someone code it for me. She sent me everything via email about 10 minutes ago. I don`t understand how I`m supposed to put this on my website - I put the CSS code in where the HTML code goes, but nothing shows up - probably because it`s not an HTML code ... duh [l0l], but what am I supposed to do? Here`s what she sent me.

My background
The actual image [top]

And she also sent me the CSS code which is :

CODE

body {background-color: transparent}



body, html, div, font, td {
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 8pt;
    line-height: 8pt;
    color: #000000;
    padding: 0;
    margin-left: 0;

}
h1 {
    background: #CACACA;
    color: #818181;
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 7pt;
    line-height: 7pt;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    text-align: left;
    margin: 0;
    margin-bottom: 1px;
    padding: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    border-bottom: 2px solid #908F93;
}
h2 {
    background: #CACACA;
    color: #818181;
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 7pt;
    line-height: 7pt;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    text-align: left;
    margin: 0;
    margin-bottom: 1px;
    padding: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    border-bottom: 2px solid #908F93;
}

    }

    color: #CACACA;
    margin:0 0px 0px 0;
    padding:0px 0 8px 0px;
    text-align:justify;
    font-family: trebuchet, verdana;
    }

    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: bold;

    color: #BC7D7A;
}
a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-family: Tahoma;
    color: #F5DDC5;
}

Um first you need to fix your background, its not going to work correctly the way you have it too big .

Secondly if thats all she gave you? If so she didn't code the div part, or the part where you align your content etc.

For the css , add style tags and put it between:
<head> and </head>

If you know the basic setup of a page. If not I suggest your start coding yourslef because obviously their not helping you out much.

CODE

<html>
<head>
<title> site name here</title>
CSS HERE (W/ STYLE TAGS)
</head>
<body>
Divs everything else. Images, etc
</body>
</html>

There is your basic setup.

Thank you!

l0l - yeah, that`s all she gave me and maybe I should stop being lazy and just learn how to code on my own.

Yea and I and anyone else can help. If you want I can help you know. By telling you how to get the background to repeat w/ the image , etc. That will get more than half of it done. Then all you have to do is add the div for text.
