The problem looks to be in
The problem looks to be in the quotation marks around text/css, they look off, I retyped them and it works fine.

Next time be careful when
Next time be careful when you copy/paste code as this is how this issue arises, see it all the time when people 'grab' example code from sites that have not convert characters incorrectly.

To be fair everything inside of the style tag is CSS but the style tag itself is HTML.
HTML goes through http://validator.w3.org
CSS goes through http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
or just put both through http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/ (I haven't actually used this one yet).
