css / doctype / firefox issue...

Hi all

I have built a site using css to style text. Browsing using IE it looks
fine, but in FF it does seem to be using the stylesheet.

I thought the doc type would be the issue, but I have checked around and
updated it with this one, but I still have the same problem,

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Digital Print and Cut</title>
link href="../main_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Any ideas?

Many thanks for any help....

As ever

If the below code is copied exactly from your site you are missing an
opening bracket for your style sheet link.

You have:

link href="../main_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Should be:

<link href="../main_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

If this doesn't work give us a URL to your page and describe what is
happening

Hi Travis & Murray

I managed to borrow some space from a friend - so here is a url

http://www.saltwatertimes.com/dump/edit_level.html

The missing < was there, I missed it from the post.

Ie looks fine / FF no style sheet - this is a work in progress, so I know
there will be other 'issues' that need looking at!

thanks for the help

I see no difference between FF and IE. What is not working in FF?

I did find that you have an extra closing bracket in your CSS that needs
to be removed.

text-decoration: none;
}

}
..copy {

Hi Travis

In FF is see the text as un styled - in IE it is the correct font and size.

I will change the } and see it that fixes it.

Thanks for the help.

Removing that bracket will take care of it.
