The semicolons are only optional after the last property definition
within the {}'s
example.class {
font: regular 14em/15em Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
color: #f90;
position: inherit /<- a semicolon for the last property definitions
is optional/
}
example.class2 {
....
color: #fff;
}; /<- NEVER put a semicolon after the {}'s, because the browser runs
into it and stops parsing your CSS/
But a good rule of thumb is to ALWAYS put semicolons after your property
definitions.
Hope that clarifies a few things.

Beautiful, thank you. I thought the trailing semicolons are optional
and didn't know they messed things up.

Hi,
I just tried your current page fixing your styl the way Ashok told you
to.remove the trailing semicolon after the brace. Your code should
look like this:
<style type="text/css">
p {font-family: verdana;font-size: 11pt;}
span {color:navy;}
</style>
I just tried it in FF 3.6, Chrome 8.0, and IE8 and the blue text
showed up as it should.on all three browsers.
The trailing ; you have added after the } is NOT optional - it is
incorrect and has caused your problems.
