Hi all,

Question for the stylesheet experts (if any):
I use a stylesheet in my website, I have the following class defined:

td.tdtoppage, td.tdtoppagebeheer {
background-color: #346A1C;
background-image: url(../art/topimagetest.jpg);
height: 131px;
width: 779px;
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
color: #D47800;
/*color:2C7513;*/
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 18px;
text-align: right;
vertical-align: bottom;
background-position: 0 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-right: 14px;
padding-bottom: 14px;
}

In my website, I have a table with a td tag defined as followed:

<td colspan='4' class='tdtoppage'>Welcome to my website!</td>

This column should display the background image, which it does in IE, but not in firefox (take a look at my website, notice the difference in IE and firefox). Any one any idea on how to solve this one?


Much appreciated,

Sujesh
 
Firstly, you should validate your HTML and CSS.

Fixing your validation errors may well fix the site. You have script and link tags before the doctype, and a script tag (which is doing nothing) in between the head and the body.

The main problem is that Firefox thinks that the background image is (instead of I suspect this is because your link statement uses a windows style \ instead of an internet standard /.
Code:
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='stylesheets[COLOR=red]\[/color]swp.css'>
should be
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='stylesheets[COLOR=red]/[/color]swp.css'>
