"high" selects all <high> elements, if you want to select elements of
class "high" you need to use ".high". Your color specifications are
wrong, you use the letter 'o' instead of the digit '0', thus the color
specifications are ignored.

That's an XML declaration, you are recommended to use it in your
documents and if you do, you must place it at the very beginning
of the document.
