Hello,

 

Please help me out, if you can. My CSS doesn't work in Firefox, only IE

 

???I don't know what I've done wrong...

 

Here's part of the code (CSS):

 

 

body {background-color: FFFFFF} /* Background settings */

p {color: 000000} /* Standard text colour is black */

p {text-indent: 0} /* Text indent */

p {font-family: arial} /* Text font type is Arial */

p {font-size: 12} /* Size of default font */

p {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0} /* Distances between lines */

p {text-align: justify;} /* Text alignment is justify */

 

h1 {color: FFFFFF} /* Heading 1 colour is white */

h2 {color: FF0000} /* Heading 2 colour is red */

h3 {color: 0099FF} /* Heading 3 colour is blue */

h4 {color: 000000} /* Heading 4 colour is black */

Wow, you have a lot of work to be redone. First of all, you can change this

 

body {background-color: FFFFFF} /* Background settings */
p {color: 000000} /* Standard text colour is black */
p {text-indent: 0} /* Text indent */
p {font-family: arial} /* Text font type is Arial */
p {font-size: 12} /* Size of default font */
p {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0} /* Distances between lines */
p {text-align: justify;} /* Text alignment is justify */

h1 {color: FFFFFF} /* Heading 1 colour is white */
h2 {color: FF0000} /* Heading 2 colour is red */
h3 {color: 0099FF} /* Heading 3 colour is blue */
h4 {color: 000000} /* Heading 4 colour is black */
h5 {color: 000000} /* Heading 5 colour is black */
h6 {color: 000000} /* Heading 6 colour is black */

h1 {font-family: arial} /* Heading font type is Arial */
h2 {font-family: arial} /* Heading font type is Arial */
h3 {font-family: arial} /* Heading font type is Arial */
h4 {font-family: arial} /* Heading font type is Arial */
h5 {font-family: arial} /* Heading font type is Arial */
h6 {font-family: arial} /* Heading font type is Arial */

h1 {font-size: 35} /* Heading 1 size is 28 in CSS, 21 pt in Frontpage */
h2 {font-size: 23} /* Heading 2 size is 23 in CSS, 18 pt in Frontpage */
h3 {font-size: 18} /* Heading 3 size is 18 in CSS, 14 pt in Frontpage */
h4 {font-size: 16} /* Heading 4 size is 16 in CSS, 12 pt in Frontpage */
h5 {font-size: 16} /* Heading 5 size is 16 in CSS, 12 pt in Frontpage */
h6 {font-size: 16} /* Heading 6 size is 16 in CSS, 12 pt in Frontpage */

h1 {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0} /* Distances between headings and other lines */
h2 {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0} /* Distances between headings and other lines */
h3 {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0} /* Distances between headings and other lines */
h4 {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0} /* Distances between headings and other lines */
h5 {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0} /* Distances between headings and other lines */
h6 {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0} /* Distances between headings and other lines */

h1 {text-align: justify;} /* Heading alignment is justify */
h2 {text-align: justify;} /* Heading alignment is justify */
h3 {text-align: justify;} /* Heading alignment is justify */
h4 {text-align: justify;} /* Heading alignment is justify */
h5 {text-align: justify;} /* Heading alignment is justify */
h6 {text-align: justify;} /* Heading alignment is justify */

h1 {text-indent: 8} /* Heading indent */
h2 {text-indent: 18} /* Heading indent */
h3 {text-indent: 18} /* Heading indent */
h4 {text-indent: 18} /* Heading indent */

Honestly, that was the worst case of CSS I've ever seen. No offense. Took me 15 minutes just to fix your code. Try this. Also, you must end all statements with ;.

For colors, you forgot #. I highly would suggest in the future to Validate your code. That probably could have saved you so much time.

Also, this is in the wrong order (which is REQUIRED) :

 

a:link {color: 0099FF; text-decoration: underline; } /* Link settings */
a:active {color: 0099FF; text-decoration: underline; } /* Active link settings */
a:visited {color: C0C0C0; text-decoration: underline; } /* Visited settings */
a:hover {
color: FF0000;
text-decoration: none;
}

 

a:hover must ALWAYS follows a, a:link and a:visited. :active always follows a:hover.

 

The order is Link, Visited< hover, Active (L.V.H.A., aka "LoVeHatE"). Change your order to:

 

a:link {color: 0099FF; text-decoration: underline; } /* Link settings */
a:visited {color: C0C0C0; text-decoration: underline; } /* Visited settings */
a:hover {color: FF0000;text-decoration: none;}
a:active {color: 0099FF; text-decoration: underline; } /* Active link settings */

 

Now, that said ... please ... spring for a book or two on css and avoid a lot of headaches. I recommend starting with, Eric Meyer on CSS.

 

You need to learn the simplest basics first - your css showed absolutely no knowledge of the basic css elements and commands.

 

Start building up a good group of links related to css, starting with, but not limited to:

 

http://css.maxdesign.com.au/ (for beginners)

http://www.positioniseverything.net/ (for those who foolishly use IE)

http://www.htmldog.com/ (for beginners)

http://www.alistapart.com/topics/code/css/ (all levels)

 

CSS is powerful and takes time to master, but you have to start from the beginning.

download this nice little app to help you write yur css...

 

http://www.newsgator.com/download/products/ts3lite.exe

 

not putting it as a url just in case exe links are frowned upon - been here for years and still never really read the guidelines ;)

 

If you don't link following links to exe then simply google 'topstyle lite' the first link I think is the page for downloading the full version - don't download the trial version, scroll down a little more and you'll see a link for the lite version

  Hello there...

 

  Thanks a lot for helping me out.

  I will try the adjustments...  ;D

 

  The code you saw was my version of CSS. I tried to make it very simple, but I also made so many mistakes.

  I am not very experienced in CSS and am grateful to have friendly people help me out, like you guys  ;D

 

  Please check out my other post about the CSS sitewide box...

  So far nobody could tell me any advice on that one  :-\

  (I think you can see it in the list, it's one of the first topics...)
