Need some help with my background colors not showing up

[sae]

I am trying to have a background color that has a number id of #EEEAE9; My css validates and my site is xhtml strict. Does xhtml strict just not play nice with non-web standard colors?

Not a problem. Have you overridden the backgroundcolor elsewhere in the css?

[sae]

well if I change the color to something like #333333 it works :rolleyes:

Provided your monitor can show more than 256 colors there should be no problem.
Showing your code may help with a solution.

well my monitor definetely has more than 256 colors....haha :D

I have attached both the css sheet and the html file. I had to rename the extension as I can't upload .css or .html files so please rename the files from .txt to .css and .html respectively.

The id that is the problem one is "contentgradient"

P.s. I just opened the page on my windows laptop using firefox and it works fine but doesn't work in firefox on my mac.:confused:
