Strange appearance with wrapper in Firefox

[aggiedad]

Howdy!

I am having a problem with how Firefox is rendering a page that is in a wrapper. It renders fine with I.E.

Because I use math symbols, the original page is typed in MSWord and generated for html by MathType, a program that generates the math symbols. As a result, it makes sense for me to simply drop this into a wrapper.

When I look at the page in I.E., there is no problem. When I look at the page in Firefox, the background is black!

Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Is there no one who can help with this?

Thanks in advance.

In your stylesheet at http://www.mrsimmons.net/templates/tutorial/screen.css

There is a:

Code:

body {
background-color: lightsteelblue;
margin: 10px;
}

part. The color you get is #002524

Maybe if you change the background-color to something else it may help.

which is exactly what causes this issue ... cause it is the same color. So, there is no actual issue. I think the "hidden" parts of the stylesheet make it only visible to IE and therefor it renderes right ...

PeterM,

Thanks, but it is the lightsteelblue in the template renders correctly. It is the slightly off-white color that is the background for the text of the file called by the wrapper that is the trouble. It renders correctly in IE, but renders as almost black in FF. When there is no background specified, both render correctly with a white bg.

Klaus,

Your reply confuses me. How can there be "no actual issue" when the page is unreadable?

the issue is you stylesheet ... and not firefox. The browser in this case just interprets, what you feed him.

In the actual page are "hacks" which give other informatin to IE. This styleinformation makes it display differently.

I fixed it!

I changed the specified background color of the file in the wrapper from an RGB spec to hex, and the problem was solved!

New question? Does anyone know why? Won't FF read the RGB values?

Thanks!

Now you mention it. I think i had that problem also, some time ago. I don't know if it was with firefox or mozilla at the time. I changed it also to hex values and then it was solved. Great job you found the problem.
