styles in Firefox 1

[TheConeHead]

Why does this not work in Firefos - shows fine in IE:

<STYLE>
  .contentnavbs {color: #ffffff; font-family: arial; font-size: 8pt; font-weight:bold;}
</style>

<td class="contentnavbs" colspan="2">
not closed

</td>

This is obviously cut-down but is the basic idea - the text "not closed" shows as black and the default Times font...

looks fine - you might have some CSS before that which is in error. this would cause the rest of your css to crap out.

typing exactly this into a new html file shows up fine for both browsers:

<STYLE>
  .contentnavbs {color: #ff0000; font-family: arial; font-size: 8pt; font-weight:bold;}
</style>
<table>
<tr>
<td class="contentnavbs" colspan="2">
not closed
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Perhaps you should show more of your code because something else is probably going on. Do you have other styles for td objects?

here is your issue:

.contentsw {{

remove that second curly brace.

Maybe validating the CSS would have spotted it?

Probably pasting it into something like Dreamweaver/Top Style (anything with colourisation options for CSS) might have picked it up too.

I never use these programs... and was stumped on a similar problem recently. A colleague pasted it into Dreamweaver and pointed out the error in seconds.

I'm still not rushing out to buy Dreamweaver... but it's another tool that might be of value in similar situations. Thing is, you never know if it's a "similar situation" until it's been solved

i tried using the css validator with his css, but it crapped out all five times i submitted it - i guess there was too much to chug through. so i manned up and eyeballed it.

Just to check, I ran it through the W3C CSS validator, and that double-brace was the first error it spotted.

I has some weird problems with the CSS validator at w3c yesterday. I could have been something at their end (they are always fiddling with it).

Oh dear, using $$$$ Dreamweaver for it's syntax highlighting capabilities (is it good for anything else?!)

Personally, I use TextPad: free to try, UK £16.50 / US $30.00 to buy.

Or there's JEdit, or plenty of other free syntax-highlighting text editors.

The one thing that I wish TextPad did that it doesn't - When you hover over a curly brace { I wish it would highlight the closing brace } kinda like how the netbeans pagckage does that comes bundled with the java sdk. Wonder if you could write a plug-in to do that in textpad, never even looked into it.....
