Ryoz -> FireFox and IE (8/22/2005 14:36:05)
Hi there, I recently launched www.coastappliances.com, It displays fine in IE, but the light grey background dissapears when viewed in Firefox, any help on this would be appreciated. Looking for design critiques as well thanks!

I like your site. 2 things: the transitionsin the main page flash are rather abrupt - would look better if transitioned more smoothly. 2. whats up with all (hundreds) of empty table cells?? surely that wasnt necessary - makes your code bloated and clunky.

Thanks Dan, what is the code for empty cells, I am relatively new to HTML, DW.

here is just a small example:

</tr>
    <tr>
      <td height="5"></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td height="3"></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td height="15"></td>
      <td colspan="4" valign="top"><span class="style14">© Coast Wholesale Appliances LP 2005 </span></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
    </tr>

a row begins with <tr> and ends with </tr> within a row are cells and each cell begins with <td> and ends with </td>. in this copy of your code, you have 3 rows, 2 of which are totally empty with many empty cells.

I basically have one large layout table with various layout cells for the buttons, pictures, but no "filler" cells in between, could this be the reason for the extra code? thanks again.

Hi Ryoz Your first query about background colour in FF is probably due to FF taking the CSS style of your blue 'body' background and not applying the non-CSS styled table background you've assigned. Where your main containing table starts, try replacing this: bgcolor="F0E9E9" with this style="background-color: #F0E9E9" and it should fix the problem for FireFox. Best wishes

Thanks Rick it works fine on Firefox now, I tested it through www.ryanoliver.net
