If you're adding it under the doctype tag you're putting it in the wrong place which would explain why if the file path is valid it's still not working.

Try adding it between the head tags.

<head></head>

Can you post your code? Have you debugged the file path?

I can't work out if you have the style tag unclosed, or if that style is in the css file, or really what's going on from this. Have you got a URL I can look at?

<link rel="spreadsheet" href="css/style.css"

Make sure you don't have any spaces between the < and link. Same goes for anything else. Make sure there are no spaces between each.
