Firefox don't like Cascading Style Sheets?
 

I have been sitting here pulling my hair out trying to get my style sheets to load in Firefox. I am trying to make my sites Firefox compatible since 25% of last month's traffic came from Mozilla but I can't get that little shit to work!

I have it linked properly and when I view the page in IE Explorer it shows up fine. Not sure what it is. Is there a known issue regarding CSS and Firefox?

It should actually be the other way. Showing up in Firefox and not in IE.

Validate your CSS and XHTML .. that should hopefully fix it :)

As far as I know CSS works fine except for things like the scroll bar and what not. body color text everything else works.

Some are working and some aren't. The table, border, and colors are working fine. It's the text styles that I cannot get to work. The default text is working fine but the headline text isn't.

It's hit or miss and I can't figure it out. :helpme

The only difference I've really noticed is that border color tags don't seem to work. CSS hasn't been a problem though.

that's very odd. my css styles always show up in my firefox. i really don't know what say. post a link to one of the pages, i want to see if it displays on mine.

if you need some help getting firefox compatible, feel free to hit me up on icq, i'd be happy to help. (btw, my resume is xhtml 1.0 strict compliant ;-) )

you probably already tried this but try class tags in your p's and h's

Firefox is VERY sensitive to having too many open class or font tags on a page - make sure you close things off with a close font tag whenever you call a class. Otherwise you will find that longer pages will suddenly blow up very strangely (I think of it like plywood delaminating, for some reason).

Firefox is pretty darn standard on everything, if you are using IE specific tags or whatever, well, then you need to redesign. Validate your stuff and see what you get.

the issue lies with CSS and iexplore, not firefox... iexplore is pathetic. make the switch.

I have the same problems Acid.. some of the styles work, others will not. Even the default link styles have troubles in FF, while IE displays everything perfectly. GR.

I never have problems getting CSS to work in either firefox or MSIE, the trick is making one CSS file that works for BOTH.

For instance, the 'hand' (pointy finger) when you want to do an onClick event, say, on an element that otherwise would yield a text bar or normal pointer. MSIE uses a nonstandard name for it (hand) and firefox uses the CSS2 standard (pointer). However, you can exploit a CSS style interpretation 'bug' in firefox where it'll only recognize the first definition in the style to have the cursor work for both browsers:

.pointerstyle { cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; }

It's crap like that which makes life interesting for people who do dhtml UI work. I just look at it this way: for me, it's all billable hours. :thumbsup

I never have problems when it comes to the view sites using .css in FireFox...your code is prolly not following the standarts man.

I have a problem getting nested fold out menus to work inside a table, I have yet to figure that one out

Yeah, thats why I suggested the CSS Validator, it'll tell him where he went wrong.

If its not working on Firefox... its got nothing to do with internet explorer, just his code. idiot.
