I want to define the style of Div based on a CSS file. The CSS code I have written is:

.body
{
    text-align: center;
    padding: 1px;
    margin: 1px;
    color: black;
    background-color:lightgrey;
}

I want the background of each Div section to be light-grey. What’s wrong with the above code?

Edited:

This is my HTML code. I changed the Div class as suggested below, but it is not working. Please also check whether the Link tag contains path correctly or not. The CSS file is located in a Lib folder, up-one-level.

                    <td colspan="2" align="center">Add/Update Political Party</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td>Party full name:</td>

    ALL DIVs:

    div
{
    text-align: center;
    padding: 1px;
    margin: 1px;
    color: black;
    background-color:lightgrey;
}

    DIVs with class “body”:

    div.body
{
    text-align: center;
    padding: 1px;
    margin: 1px;
    color: black;
    background-color:lightgrey;
}
