CSS help MOZILLA!

[ProfessorPrint]

I manage this big website and it looks perfect in versions of IE (5,6), but there is something wrong in Mozilla and I am stuck. I just can't figure it out! The layout is a little wonky in Mozilla and I think it's a CSS thing, as everything else looks good (fully WC3 compliant, HTML 4.0 transitional, very clean code). If someone can take a look at the site in IE to see it looking good and then look at it on Mozilla to see what I mean (the home page is all you will need) and post/send comments on what I can do to fix, that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm out of the country, and so haven't got access to netscape at the moment.

Looking through your css, I notice that you often have something like
padding-top : 4pt;
padding-bottom : 0;

Here the bottom padding is not defined, and so I can imagine that mozilla has a different default then IE has (IE has px as default). Suggest cleaning that up and giving it another try.

If you use an editor which colourcodes your css (like source-edit) then these instances stand out.

That makes no sense. They have defined the bottom padding as 0. When defining anything as 0 you do not need to specify what it is you want to use 0 of. 0 is equal to 0px, 0em, 0pt etc.


I just looked at the site in Firefox 3 and can't see any problems.

I am assuming the reason it is previewing correctly is that the error was fixed almost 4 years ago??

Not sure if this was raised again as a new issue, but just trying to help clear it up!

lol yes you're right. Didn't notice. Wonder how I ended up at it.
