Hi all,

My CSS works fine with Windows Internet Explorer, and passes w3c validation, but Firefox simply does not register the .css file and loads my page as if the CSS does not exist. Incidentally, when the code is imbedded in the xhtml through <style> tags in the header, it works fine - and I have triple checked that the <link> tags link to the correct CSS file.

So I've saved the following very simple code in the .css file:

body{font: 70% sans-serif}
div#image{float:right}
div#introduction{margin-top:28px}
div#maininformation{clear:both;margin-left:150px;margin-right:150px}

Anybody have any idea? I've been wrestling with this for some time.

Thanks,

javascriptlover

Syntax is fine, do you have a link or, if you don't, just attach a text file to your next post with the full XHTML page.

This is an issue with your server side but without a link we can only guess.

Hi there, so at the moment the XHTML is the following. Thanks for the help...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

C: is not a registered protocol in firefox.
Or any browser for that matter.
