You are missing the name of the element that the css is to apply to and a
pair of braces, so your style definition isn't valid. You've put both in in
your second example below. That's why the second works and the first
doesn't.

I think it need only be:
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background: url(computer.bmp);
font-family: Verdana;
}
</style>
I don't know whether its meaningful to apply styles to "html". Either its
meaningless or would (I imagine) have the same effect as applying a style to
the body.
