Div Style not working from External CSS

Hi guys, I'm having trouble getting div styles to work from an external style sheet.

I've confirmed the page using the div styles does link to the external CSS as I've used styles for other tags without problem. I can also define the div style inline within the page which indicates there's nothing wrong with my coding!

Here's what I have;

This is what is in the external CSS

div.duel
{
font-size: 18pt;
color:#FFFFFF;
}

and this is what is on the page;

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../Default.css">
</style>
</head>
<body background="Background.jpg">

<center>
<div class="duel"> Work damn you, WORK! </div>
</center>

</body>
</html>

Is this coding right? Now I've simplified things in the hope that the mistake I'm making is here but I'll happily give any other information you may need to sort this out.

I'm at a complete loss as to why this isn't working. I've only recently gotten back into web design and I thought it must be something really simple but for the life of me can't find it!

Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated

SOLUTION!
Instead of 'div.duel' in the CSS, I used 'duel' by itself and it worked

If you could post your solution up here, that would be great. Forums are here to help people, and it may be that someone could gain some knowledge from your solution.

You can't delete thread. If the members themselves find the solution to their own problems, we like them to post it so other members with the same problem can find a solution.

So ...I just rearranged the post so members can find the solution better
