Thread: CSS & Firefox

Yeah, Firefox is more strict when it interprets CSS and formatting commands. F'rexample:

color:FFFFFF will work in IE, but Firefox will demand
color:#FFFFFF

If forces you to be more disciplined and more correct in your coding, but once it is done, it's done.

Curiouser and curiouser, I've been waiting for some one else to ask - what is youse talkin' bout? What is CSS, please?

Cascading Style Sheet.

As it's name suggests, it is a way of setting the style and look of a web page in a manner that can be used ("cascaded") through the whole site.

Oh? Right!!!!
Thank you.

Sorry. Last post reads as sarcasm - which is not intended.

Ah, so I need to review the CSS used and ensure proper coding used, colour was one problem, the other is alignment, thanks for that.

Masoth, CSS is a handy tool as already mentioned not only can you keep the same look within a site, it also helps keep it looking the same on most computers.
People have different settings and what looks good on one puter can look strange on another, CSS helps to keep the look the same regardless.

There's a site called quirksmode.com or something similar which should help you iron out many of the common issues.

Nothing seems to make Firefox behave correctly, tried everything from setting strict and quirk modes, rewriting the CSS, a few code work arounds and nothing works.

IE, Opera work fine its just firefox playing silly buggers
