missing text problem

Reg Wharf · Mar 17, 2010

Hi guys,
I've made a simple CSS round corner template but I can't get the text to appear in the left column. The code is:-

------------------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<style type="text/css">

body {background:#555;}

.container {background: #fff; color: #000; margin:0 auto; width:750px;}

.rtop, .rbottom{display:block;background:#555;}
.rtop *, .rbottom *{display: block;height: 1px;background

range;}
.r1{margin: 0 5px}
.r2{margin: 0 3px}
.r3{margin: 0 2px}
.r4{margin: 0 1px;height: 2px}

.header1 {height:10px;background

range;}

.header2 {height:90px;background:#fff;}

.navbar {height:20px;background:#000;color:#fff;}

.leftcol {width:200px;height:300px;float:left;margin-left:-750px;}

.rightcol {width:550px;height:300px;background:#ffc;margin-left:200px;}

.footer {clear:both;width:100%;height:20px;background

range;}

</style>
<title>444template</title>
</head>
<body>

<div class="container">
<b class="rtop"><b class="r1"></b> <b class="r2"></b> <b class="r3"></b> <b class="r4"></b></b>

<div class="header1">
</div>

<div class="header2">
<h1>Text Here</h1>

</div>

<div class="navbar">

<div class="leftcol">

</div>

<div class="rightcol">

<b class="rbottom"><b class="r4"></b> <b class="r3"></b> <b class="r2"></b> <b class="r1"></b></b>
