Is the file extension of your file .htm or .html? Also, your CSS needs to be inside a style tag.

I was horrified to find that the file was a text file ! No wonder I could’t get a corresponding web page ! Once I saved it as an .html file, all worked out as it should. And yes, of course the style has to be within style tags - thanks for pointing that out.
