Question by chachafance: How do you make website borders show on Firefox?
I make Myspace layouts (html/css) and the borders show fine in IE but I just started to use Firefox and the borders won’t show up at all in Firefox! Why is this?

Is there a certain way borders should be coded in Firefox?

For example, here’s what I used for 2 borders in my css:

BORDER-RIGHT:cc0099 10px solid;
BORDER-TOP:cc0099 10px solid;

But when the page is opened with Firefox, the borders don’t show up at all!
I don’t have the # in front of the color because with MYSPACE it won’t show up, and it shows is as an error. With MYSPACE you have to put the color without the #.

So no, I DONT mean #cc0099!

Answer by BillH
Don’t you mean:

border-right: #cc0099 10px solid;
border-top: #cc0099 10px solid;

Don’t forget the “#”. IE lets you get away with sloppy definitions. Firefox won’t. On the other hand, Firefox is much more standards compliant than IE. Things happen the way you expect them to in Firefox.

When I’m web designing, I always make it look right in Firefox and then see what happens in IE (it’s usually a mess that I need to put a number of CSS and HTML hacks in place to look right).

LoHou Border Crossing


Image by Carolinadoug
Taken from my hotel room on the 19th floor of the Shangri-La. This is a very busy border crossing between Hong Kong (background of the photo) and the city of Shenzhen in mainland China.

The main Shenzhen train station is on the right. The Hong Kong MTR rail line terminates at the brown building. The Shenzhen subway system is underneath the walkway down the center. On the left is an enormous shopping mall. This is where you go to buy any knock off product, bootleg movie, and software package you could imagine. It is very crowded and hot so the experience is unpleasant to say the least.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Apple vs. the textbook: Can education go paperless?
To ask me to buy a $ 500 iPad so I can then purchase a $ 15 dollar textbook (Apple's announced price) is not economically feasible nor advantageous. I would much rather have a pdf version of the book. Having fancy graphs or pictures of cells (as Apple …
