Wiring a dimmer switch and Light fixture - How To - DoItYourself.com ...

I ran wires from a new dimmer switch to the location where I want to install a new light fixture. With the dimmer switch turned on, I tested the wires where the light will go. The wire test showed that the wires were hot. I then connected the light fixture and turned on the dimmer switch again...this time no power to the wires and the light would not work. As soon as I connect the fixture the circuit is not getting any power. If I remove just one of the wires from the light fixture and test again, now the wires are hot. Everytime I connect the light fixture the circuit dies.
Can anyone help me out...Any ideas would be appreciated.
