Why do you have HTML in your CSS file?
Get rid of the HTML and just keep the CSS.

I hope that you'll real stylesheet sets a color as well. Always set
color and background-color together to avoid clashes with user
stylesheets.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

Here you say that it's HTML ...
<link rel=" stylesheet " type="text/css" href="teststylesheet.css" />

.... and here you use XHTML syntax.
