I used a scaffold to create an interface. I’m trying to style it and  
I’m having trouble. In my css I have:

#content a, a:link, a:visited{  
color: #ff8400;  
}  
#content a:hover{  
background: #ff8400;  
color: #FFFFFF;  
}

#content a.urgent, a.urgent:link, a.urgent:visited {  
color: #FF0000;  
}  
#content a.urgent:hover {  
color: #FFFFFF;  
background: #FF0000;  
}

#content input.m\_title{  
font-weight: bold;  
font-size: 28px;  
padding: 3px;  
}

The style for the links works, but not for the .urgent class. Also the  
style for the input.m\_title will not work. When I view the source the  
class is written right too:

It’s not supposed to be ‘style’, it’s ‘class’.
