Yes, stop coding slovenly. ?

IE, may well accept poor coding but compliant browsers do not.

The attribute [b]bgcolor[/b] is deprecated in favour of CSS.

I would presume that this is maybe a mystery to you and probably you would

only be able to implement inline styling at your present level of coding.

If this is the case use, instead of [b]bgcolor="1C1D1C"[/b]...

[indent][color=navy]style="background-color:#1c1d1c"[/color][/indent]

    @cootheadNov 21.2008 — Hi there evan5,

    give a single element that you wish to style an [b]id selector[/b].

    Give multiple elements that you wish to style a [b]class selector[/b].

    @Major_PayneNov 22.2008 — Highly recommend the suggestions made for coding, but to answer your question directly using your style of coding, the "problem" you had with Firefox is the missing " # " in " bgcolor="1C1D1C" ". Firefox is almost totally compliant with CSS 2.1 and HTML 4.01 Standards and will not parse a color without the " # ".

    Also, do not recommend using named colors. Some named colors, although having different names, will generate the same color because the browser does not know the difference.

    what do you mean by that MP?
