The following embedded CSS class is not being applied and I don't
under stand why?

Any help would be appreciated.

<script type="text/css">
.msg_alert {
text-weight: bold;
font-size: 1em;
color: red;
}
</script>

<div class="msg_alert">This should work!</div>

Thanks in advance.

Try replacing:

<script type="text/css">

....with:

<style type="text/css">

</style>

Wow, how ironic! When I read your original posting, I thought to myself,
"This guy is dumber than a doorknob." Btw, is your first name
"Dangerous"?

<grin>

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.
