This is a roundabout, and may not get you where you want to go. Are you perchance using Firefox? If so, there is a marvelous add-on, Web Developer 1.1.8, that has a very nice CSS feature. When you are viewing a web page, you can view style information for a particular element by clicking on it. The corresponding CSS code is displayed at the bottom. Using this with the template that does work may lead you to the code that will make your edited template likewise work.
