We have FF 13.0.1 and it is doing strange things...like not recognizing styles. In particular, text/css generated by Dreamweaver CS3 is not being displayed. Also, we are seeing that background graphics are not being repeated, although the code is telling the browser to do so. These problems are not being seen on IE or Chrome. Any ideas?

Can you give us a URL so we can try to reproduce the problem?

If not, the things I would do is to check that the HTML and CSS are valid:

Also try clearing Firefox's cookies and cache.

Hi, thanks. Here is the url for a sample page. The text is not supposed to be black in both left columns; the right column with the testimonial is supposed to be a burnt orange color..here's the url: http://www.2irongolf.com/Home-01_071012.html

The validator only pointed out an issue with the background; here is the message(note we are using Dreamweaver to generate the code): 


   Error Line 39, Column 58: there is no attribute "background"

   …t="30" align="left" valign="top" background="images/homenavbg-fb-twt.jpg"></td>

   You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

   This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

   How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.

Hi again, We did find that the hex color numbers did not have a # in front, which was an issue...now fixed. Thanks for the validator links; we'll use them from now on.
