Incorrect rendering in FireFox, but OK in IE7 and Chrome

From a new kid on the block...

I have the code below which renders perfectly in Chrome and IE7, but looks ghastly in FireFox.

Can anyone either tell me what I'm doing wrong, or else point me to a site that shows such incompatibility issues.

Thanks

Since it is not clear from your code:

Do you have a doctype as a first item in the html file? Furthermore, do your HTML and CSS validate? Without these three things, you can't expect your code to look similar across different browsers.

Hi

Setting [tt]position: absolute[/tt] for the rolling direction images sounds like a horrible idea and I can not imagine how that could look acceptably in any browser.
Code:
[purple].AccordionTitle[/purple] p
[teal]{[/teal]
[highlight][blue]float:[/blue] [green]left[/green];[/highlight]
[blue]font-weight:[/blue][green]bold[/green];
[blue]padding-top:[/blue][green]4px[/green];
[blue]padding-left:[/blue][green]0px[/green];
[highlight][blue]margin:[/blue] [green]0[/green];[/highlight]
[teal]}[/teal]

[purple].AccordionTitle[/purple] img
[teal]{[/teal]
[highlight][blue]float:[/blue] [green]right[/green];[/highlight]
[highlight][blue]padding-top:[/blue] [green]4px[/green];[/highlight]
[highlight][blue]padding-right:[/blue] [green]2px[/green];[/highlight]
[teal]}[/teal]

[purple].AccordionTitle[/purple]
[teal]{[/teal]
    [highlight][blue]clear:[/blue] [green]both[/green];[/highlight]
    [blue]height:[/blue][green]30px[/green];
    [blue]overflow:[/blue][green]hidden[/green];
    [blue]cursor:[/blue][green]pointer[/green];
    [blue]font-family:[/blue] "[green]lucida[/green] [green]grande[/green]", [green]tahoma[/green], [green]verdana[/green], [green]arial[/green], [green]sans-serif[/green];
    [blue]font-size:[/blue][green]8pt[/green];
    [blue]font-weight:[/blue][green]bold[/green];
    [blue]text-align:[/blue][green]left[/green];
    [blue]background-repeat:[/blue][green]repeat-x[/green];
    [blue]display:[/blue][green]table-cell[/green];
    [blue]border-top:[/blue][green]0px[/green];
    [blue]background-image:[/blue][green]url[/green]([green]accordion.gif[/green]);
    [blue]-moz-user-select:[/blue][green]none[/green];
[teal]}[/teal]
Next time please post your code between [tt][ignore]
Code:
[/ignore][/tt] and [tt][ignore]
[/ignore][/tt] TGML tags.

Feherke.
 
Problem solved.

I simply removed the css: 'display:table-cell;' Now everything works fine in FireFox, IE7 and Chrome.

BTW, I used FireBug to de-bug this one.
