Tonight I go to look at my web sites to see how they look, and they look absolutely horrible in FireFox. It seems all of the CSS code is being ignored so fonts are bigger and warp the page, and also one of my sites the font is entirely blacked-out on blackbackground (when it should be light colored font as seen in IE). It must be understood that I realized potential problems would exist so I designed web sites entire with TABLE, TR, AND TD so that cross-browser compatibility of format placement would be minimized. Does anyone know why these FONT CSS issues exist in FireFox and how I can correct the problem? Here are the web sites: www.zzantiquities. www.zzancientart.com www.zzimportexport.com www.zzsugars.com Thanks for the help.

Better check the sites in Opera and Safari PC too just to be sure. Tables are no longer the recommended tool for building website by the way - CSS layouts are easier to maintain and more accessible on the whole. But you will need a full DOCTYPE - you've only got a partial one there. Apart from that - don't use PT for font-sizing - it's only meant for print. Use % or ems instead (around 76% is usually about normal). Also you've got this in your stylesheet; color : "black" ; Get rid of the quote marks. _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to zzantiquities)

It will interpret everything exactly as you tell it to. IE on the other hand makes assumptions and errors so even if the site looks right in IE, if it looks wrong in FF then it's wrong. You need to correct your css, fix the encoding and check the html again. On that site and all the others which I haven't looked at. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to Tailslide)

Also, Firefox is blocking a dynamic button and in its place says . It is also doing this for Google ads in other web sites I am visiting. This sucks. How can I view the google ads?

I've got adblock activated too so I don't have to look at ads or unwanted stuff. _____________________________ Little Blue Plane Web Design \| Land Rover project (in reply to zzantiquities)

Interestingly I can see google ads here at this website on the previous page (i.e. the thread) at top, but here in this message box I see an " " that removes whatever ad is up at top. Can anyone tell me how to unblock the firefox adblocker? (in reply to Tailslide)
