Firefox 1.5 CSS problems?
|
|
|
| I was visiting csszengarden.com and noticed that the blossoms.jpg image
in the lower right corner does not appear in Firefox 1.5. It does
appear in previous versions of Firefox, and even IE6! Any ideas on what
happened in Firefox 1.5 to break it?
The code in the style sheet:
body {
font: 8pt/16pt georgia;
color: #555753;
background: #fff url(blossoms.jpg) no-repeat bottom right;
margin: 0px;
}

Because despite promoting Standards, they code basically to IE,
proofread with IE mainly, don't proofread/test carefully enough with
other browsers and have missed it, or know about it and don't care that
Standards Conforming Browsers don't display that image.
The reason that you don't get the background image in question with
Firefox (or any conforming browser), is due to the fact that it is
applied to <body> and its content is <container> which is positioned
absolutely, so body has no height.

Sorry, but I did not read carefully enough. Are you sure that Previous
Fx versions display it? If so, then it was a bug and it has been corrected.
I would then have to say that the page was coded to Behaviour rather
than to Standards, as described below.

Prior to 1.5 the root element was basically equivalent to the viewport.
This has been corrected for consistancy with other minority
implementations alright, whether or not that actually was a bug will be
known as soon as a CSS > 1 spec saying so may be cited otherly than as
work in progress.

Right or wrong, I can see the image in the right botton corner of the
page, with my Mozilla 1.7.11
But if I right click on it and choose "View Background Image" I'll get
the top left image only.
