What have I done wrong? If you type in my url or click link to my site in Firefox, the site loads my source code. Seems to work on Internet Explorer.

  • I'll take a look, but one quick tip I found when working with FF. Keep an eye out for double dashes "--" within comment blocks, etc. Even "- -" (with spaces) caused an issue in FF. IE tries to take care of you and keep things from blowing, so -- in comments isn't a problem. In FF, putting --, even within a comment block, caused the rest of the code to puke and show on the screen. Again, I haven't at this yet, but maybe this has something to do with your issue of FF.

    • Looks like your doctype is wrong. It probably becuase you are using html and you are self closing this line:

      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

      Just take the forward slash at the end off.

      If you have any more trouble i would just run the page through validator.w3.org as you quite a few other errors on that page.

  • <style type="text/css"><!--
    .headline {
    font-family: Tahoma, Verdana;
    font-size: 16pt;
    font-weight: bold;
    }
    --></style>

    the comments you used here in the stylesheet I believe is your problem. Commenting things out in a stylesheet is different than HTML (you use /*font-weight: bold;*/ instead of the standard <!-- comments)
  • Thank you to all replies. I will try them and let you know.
  • Thanks all! Turns out it was not uploaded in html, so Firefox did not recognize. It has been repaired.
