Hi,
I added a bit of css to my dashboard in simple xml
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.my-list ul {
list-style-position: inside;
}
</style>
</head>
</html>
everytime I save the dashboard and refresh, it cannot load again, remains on the Loading ... grey screen.
any idea why?

I use something like this to change the size of my panels. This only works at a panel level but I had no issue having my dashboard reload when I used it. Maybe it will help get you closer?
<panel depends="$alwaysHideCSS$">
<html>
<style>
.my-list ul {
list-style-position: inside;
}
</style>
stuff down here for the html in the panel
</html>
</panel>

I'm constantly seeing depends="$alwaysHideCSS" and depends="$hiddenForCSS$" .
Can someone please explain this and provide some splunk / css documentation on it?
Plus when you use .my-list ul {}, does that not require you to define the token / identifier using class keyword.
As per CSS documentation when using CSS, if using # as selector, we need to define the id field correct?
and the . as selector needs class keyword to be defined ?
Can someone explain ?

Put the CSS into a separate file and reference it from the simple xml (example taken from Wallboard dashboard in "Scalable Vector Graphics - Custom Visualization" app)
<dashboard stylesheet="svg:white_background.css" hideChrome="true" hideTitle="true">
<label>Wallboard</label>
<description>Dashboard designed to be displayed on large TVs</description>

I think you can't add this to the simple XML as it is not supported.
You would have to convert your dashboard to a HTML view first.

Check answers below, I would put CSS in a separate file. @msivill has linked the relevant docs.
