Rails - May 2006 - CSS for flash messages

Hello all,

I''m perplexed by the following:

I''ve implemented flash messages in my application.rhtml with:

<% for name in [:notice, :warning, :message] %>
  <% if flash[name] %>
    <%= "<p id=\"#{name}\"
class=\"flash\">#{flash[name]}</p>" %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

I''ve implemented CSS in application.rhtml with:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag "avcnotes" %>

Now, each of these things works--my flash messages appear when they 
should, and my styles are applied to all the pertinent elements...EXCEPT 
flash messages.  In avcnotes.css I have (among other things):

.notice {
color:yellow
}
.warning {
color:red
}
.message {
color:yellow
}
#flash {
border:1px solid black;
width:100%;
text-align:center
}

No matter what I''ve tried, these styles are not applied to my flash 
messages.  Is there a step/trick/hack I''m missing here?

Thanks in advance,

-ELf

You''ve got your signifiers switched.  # is the code for "id"
and . is
the code for "class".

#notice

#warning

#message

and

.flash
