I want to open .css files w/ TextEdit

No matter how many times I tell the finder to open .css files with TextEdit, it always reverts back to opening them w/ the default-Safari. I've control-clicked, open with, selected TextEdit, checked always open with..., but no help. I even "got info" and changed the drop down to TextEdit, but no help, too. Whazzup with that?

MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Go to "Get Info" for a .css file. Choose TextEdit from the drop down menu. Click "Change all" and confirm the choice.

Actually, I didn't do the "change all" part, and now it seems to work with all my .css files. Even the nice ppl. at AppleCare didn't tell me that part. Thank gods for this forum! And thx Tom for the link, I'll check it out.
