Why would IE not be using my stylesheet?

Here's a strange one, probably highly obvious. Well, hopefully highly obvious.

Because I don't use IE, I haven't tested the site I'm making in IE... My friend said it looked rubbish when he tried it. Since looking myself, I've realised it's not using any of my CSS...

Works fine in Firefox though

The line:

Code:

<link title="default" rel="stylesheet" href="Style.css" type="text/css">

should work in IE?

For reference, the full site is http://ishullright.co.uk and you can get to my CSS by direct link obviously

Looks the same to me in IE7 as it does in FF2

The colours in the text of the comments isn't showing on the machines I've tried. And on the form for adding a comment, the text to the right of the boxes shows up as italic in FF but not in IE...

try making that capital S, (Style.css) not capital

I've changed all the instances, but still nothing...

Glad it wasn't something completely obvious

It works in some places but not others, my headings using the <h2> tag work, but not ones using <h5> - <h9>. Can I use numbers that high? Or should I call them something else?

Standard only goes to h6, might be IE doesn't like your custom variation.

My naive CSS then. I was doing it just to be lazy with formatting. Is there a better way?

What about classes?

h6.blue, p.italic etc

Was just going to ask about that. I'll do some reading up on it, should be quite simple to put in though.

Just changed to using <h1> - <h5> and both browsers appear the same.

Cheers for the help
