Dave,

text-weight is not a valid CSS property name. font-weight is:

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/fonts.html#propdef-font-weight

If you had checked your code with a HTML validator or an online HTML
validation service and with a CSS validator, both errors (<script>
instead of <style> and text-weight) would have been reported.
