Why does this not work?

[Richard]

This totally confuses me.
When I change the division "plmi" to "green" or "red", it highlights as
desired.
It makes no difference what I call it, it refuses to do the background
color.
Why?



div.green {background:#0f0;}
div.red {background:#F00;}
div.plmi {baackground:#EFF;}


ul {margin-left:5px; }
ul li {margin:5px 0px; 10px 15px; padding-left;15px;}
ul li li {margin:5px 0px; 10px 15px; padding-left;15px;}
ul li li li {margin:5px 0px; 10px 15px; padding-left;15px;}

<div id="MDME">
<ul>
<li>Click here to begin
<ul>
<li><div class="green">Vehicles</div>
<ul>
<li><div class="green">Planes</div>
<ul>
<li><div class="plmi">Military</div></li>
</ul>
</li> <!-- End of Planes top -->
</ul>
</li> <!-- end of vehicles -->
</ul>
</li> <!-- end main menu -- >
</ul>
</div>

"Baackground?" You should feel sheepish about your spelling mistake.

You are ever so right.
I must have looked at that a 100 times and just could not figure it out.

Why didn't you just feed it to the validator. Would have taken you 15
seconds, far far shorter then the hour and a half you wasted getting a reply
here.

Because he is friggin retarded and doesn't learn. (No offense intended to
retarded people everywhere)
