Hi,

I got my text alignment sorted out but when I implimented it, something else went wrong: all my paragraphs and table backgrounds turned red!

They should be black, which is how it looks in my Opera browser but in IE it's all horribly red. I can't find any errors, but there must be, so would someone's fresh eyes take a looks at my css and see what's wrong, please?

Here's the stylesheet, I'm not using the Divs at the moment but I'm planning to later on which is why they're here.


body {
margin: 10px 0px 0px;
background: #000000;
cursor: hand;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 11px;
color: #FFCCCC;
text-align: center;
}

p, table, tr, td {
background: #000000;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 11px;
color: #FFCCCC;
text-align: center;
}

input, option, select, textarea {
border: 1px solid #FFCCCC;
background: #000000;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 11px;
color: #FFCCCC;
}

a:link {
cursor: hand;
color: silver;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:active {
cursor: hand;
color: silver;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:visited {
cursor: hand;
color: CCFFCC;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
cursor: hand;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}

#content {
position: left;
left: 50px;
top: 100px;
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
overflow: auto;
background: #000000;
border: 0px solid #ffcccc;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 11px;
color: #ffcccc;
text-align: center;
}

#nav {
position: right;
left: 50px;
top: 100px;
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
overflow: auto;
background: #000000;
border: 0px solid #ffcccc;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 11px;
color: #ffcccc;
text-align: center;
}

#disclaimer {
position: bottom;
overflow: auto;
background: #000000;
border: 0px solid #ffcccc;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 8px;
color: #ffcccc;
text-align: center;
}



Any ideas? Thanks.

All your fonts are set at #FFCCCC which is a light redish color.

I like my font colour, it's that background powerful red that I want to get rid of.

Oh sorry, i really need to stop multitasking, it's not working.

What's your url where it's happening?

I wish I could multi-task, as soon as I try, my computor objects and freezes *lol*

Anyway, the url is http://marilyn.theatricality.co.uk/

I don't understand why it works perfectly well in Opera but not in IE *scratches head in puzzlement*

It looks fine to me, black background on IE and Netscape.

Was it red and you fixed a problem? You may want to hit "shift + reload". I don't see anything wrong with your css either.


(i love that font color on the black background)

I haven't changed anything :( I don't understand, it's still red for me, I've reloaded the page loads of times and it's always red. Totally bizarre, maybe it's something to do with my computor.

Thanks for taking a look for me. If it's OK for you then I won't worry about it. No one else sees it from my machine anyway ~ so it doesn't matter if it looks all wierd on mine.
