Disapearing divtags

Question

Hello,
i am trying to build my first table free website and I need
a bit of help.
everything is looking fine in dreamweaver but in the broswer
two of my div tags (the main conent area and links at the foot of
the page seem to disapear. I have done CSS styles for both div tags
in the main content the font is set to 9 ems and the footer 7 ems
but in the browser the text is so small just looks like two white
lines (upper right of page and bottom center) can some one take a
look and let me know where I am going wrong.

Declare the size of your font on the body tag using css, see
your
revised stylesheet below. I've removed some font styling
because they
made no sense, ie you cant have .9px.
In the css below your base font size is 11px. If for instance
you want
anything in the #links container to be bigger just add
font-size: 20px;
to that css style. Once you have declared a font family using
the body
tag there is no need to specify it again in your css, unless
of course
you want to use a different font.
body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #FFFFFF;
#bluehead {
width: 800px;
#flashbanner {
background-color: #000000;
width: 800px;
#contentmain {
background-color: #333333;
padding: 10px;
width: 780px;
color: #FFFFFF;
#footbar {
width: 800px;
color: #FFFFFF;
#navbar {
background-color: #333333;
width: 800px;
#links {
background-color: #333333;
width: 790px;
color: #FFFFFF;
padding: 5px;
#wrapper {
margin: 0px auto;
width: 800px;
