Firefox display glitch

DavidO · 09-12-2008, 06:43 AM

I just uploaded a new website design and I didn't notice until the last moment that the gray borders around my main content table don't display in Firefox, but they do in IE.

Lower blood pressure naturally

When the page is first loading they are visible but when the page finishes loading they disappear.

I know this can be complicated but I'm wondering if the description above tips anybody off to something obvious. I can't spot anything in the code.

Thanks for any tips!

Hello David

Assuming it's the same thing, I was battling this CSS problem the other day when I was developing ARP 4.

I wanted the colour of the border round the table to be different from the table's cells.

When setting up the CSS for this, I found that setting a border colour on 'table' would work in IE but not in Firefox.

On investigating, I found in Firefox that the border I had set for 'td' (the table cells) was overriding the border setting for 'table'.

Actually, this makes sense - so it's probably IE that's doing it wrong in showing it for 'table'.

I did some researching but I didn't find a solution and accepted that it was a minor issue. The table now doesn't have a different colour of border!

Hope that helps somewhat.

Cheers,

Neil
