Css Inserts not working??

I've worked a lot in atahualpa, this week doing a design with 3.4 & Wordpress 2.8.6 - in the past, if I wanted to style text in the sidebars specifically, I'd do something like this with the "text" widget:

HTML Code:

<p class="contact">Contact us Today! We're Open Seven Days a Week!</p>

Then I'd add an insert:

HTML Code:

/* contact us */

.contact {

font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;

font-size: 14px;

font-weight: bold;

color: #ffffff;

}

I'm using a fresh unzip of the theme and a new install of wordpress - none of my css inserts seem to be "taking" in the sidebars; on my left column I ended up putting the styling in the ata options/sidebars styling section - I can't globally style the right side like that, too much other stuff going there - anything changed with ATA lately that affects this?

The URL is http://bridgestexas.com/wordpress - for now this is just an experiment to see how closely I can match the look of an HTML site with WP, not much actual content there.

Thanks all - MC

Anyone have any ideas????

A couple of things. First I would probably update to the latest version of WordPress. Not that that is the issue but a lot of good things happened in 2.9. Also have you tried using the Advanced Text Widget plugin? Not sure why is previously worked for you.

1) upgrade to 3.4.4 (http://wordpress.bytesforall.com/?p=81)
2) I don't see your example in the generated page at all
3) go to ATO->Configure CSS & JS and set 'Configure CSS & JS' to 'inline' and 'CSS: Compress?' to 'no'
while your testing - makes it easier for someone to see what is going on
