I am having difficulty when developing websites in local folders (Windows7 computer). The webpages I make are showing images in IE9 & Chrome but not FireFox (nor Safari nor Opera).
In FireFox I get Firebug "Failed to load given URL" prompt.
I am using html5 & external linked css stylesheet & the html/html5 & css code validates.
I have tried using rel path ie images/image.gif & absolute path references ie C:/RPD_Programming/RPD WEB/amwcsnew/index.html
and have tried using % to eliminate whitespace in references but I cannot get FireFox to display images!!
This has been a problem for me for around 2 weeks now & is very frustrating. Some website code/templates I have downloaded from the internet display the websites properly (ie load images fine) when I open them locally in FireFox. Why does my code not allow the images to load in FireFox (paths/permissions/other issue??). How can I fix this?
Here is example css & html5 not displaying images from local directory in FireFox (fine in IE9 & Chrome):
style.css
/* CSS Document */
/*Basic Reset*/
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
html{
}
/* HTML5 display-role reset for older browsers */
article, aside, details, figcaption, figure,
footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section {
display: block;
}
body{
width:1200px;
margin:0 auto;
}
header{
height:450px;
background:url("C:/RPD_Programming/RPD WEB/amwcsnew/images/header.gif");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
- mid{height:750px;
background:url('C:/RPD_Programming/RPD_WEB/amwcsnew/images/mid.gif')no-repeat;
}
footer{height:286px;
background:url('C:/RPD_Programming/RPD WEB/amwcsnew/images/footer.gif')no-repeat;
}

NB
Is there a FireFox guide/manual in pdf format available anywhere? I have not found one yet & a FireFox reference might be useful!
