Style Sheets

i got a problem with style sheets. I make a style sheets by using External
Style Sheets metode. like this:

P.kolom          {text-align: left; margin-left:.10in; margin-right:.10in}
A:link           {color: red}
A:visited        {color: purple}
A:active         {color: black}
A:hover          {color: blue; text-decoration: none}
A                {text-decoration: underline}
A:hover.kolom    {color: gold}
DIV.barhitam A:link    {color: silver}   /* link warna perak pada kolom
hitam */
DIV.barhitam A:visited {color: aqua}     /* link yang pernah di kunjungi
warna biru muda pada kolom hitam */
DIV.barhitam A:active  {color: yellow}   /* link aktif warna kuning pada
kolom hitam */
DIV.barhitam A:hover   {color: gold}     /* link warna emas jika pointer
mouse di taruh pada mouse pada kolom warna hitam */
DIV.barhitam A         {text-decoration: none} /* link tanpa garis bawah
pada kolom hitam */

then i save it to webcorner.css, and the style sheets work perfectly, but...
if I add tag <style type="text/css"> or <style> and close with </style>, the
style sheets doesn't work. So what's wrong ?

Thanks :)
