CSS file that works in IE but not Firefox
Hello. I am going to change my site to using a CSS file for font color and display and such. I am pretty new at using CSS files with my web site, other that messing with it in modifying my blog skin. I created one I want to use at: http://rhodesfamily.org/style.css, but I can only get it to work with IE. Here is my test page: http://rhodesfamily.org/index_test.htm. It will not display in Firefox, which is my main browser . Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Carl

It's not showing up in Firefox because you are missing a brace, so that whole rule for body is ignored.

colton22, that isn't valid. There should be a space where you put the colon.

I am still not certain about how to go about how to fix it. You say I have a missing a brace, but what is a brace and where does it go? Thank you much. Here is the test page: http://rhodesfamily.org/index_test.htm and here is its CSS code: http://rhodesfamily.org/style.css

Thank you much, Carl

"Brace" is another word for a "bracket". In CSS curly a pair of curly braces ("{","}") is used to delimit a code block. You still have an extra right one ("}") in the rule for body.

I have Georgia installed.

P.S. Why did you post here and on DevShed?

Perhaps you missed the second line of my first reply?

Change
Code:
@import:url(rhodes.css);

to
Code:
@import url(rhodes.css);

If you still need more help, then I may email you.

Thanks, but that did not work. So I did some looking and found and used the following code:
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="rhodes.css">

It work great with Firefox. Thanks for your help.

You're welcome

Please fix your HTML and CSS errors. (don't worry about the errors caused by the scrollbar colors.)
