I have problems with the background color i set using css it works in internet explorer but not in fier fox here is the code i am using:
<code>
<style>
* { font-family: Arial, Tahoma, verdana; font-size: 12pt; COLOR: blue;background-color: #ADD8E6
}

</style>

</code>
note the text color works in both browsersjust not the background one any idea why this is? thanks

Only thing I can see wrong is you are using <style> instead of <style type="text/css">

There is nothing wrong with that code otherwise, I created a test below and it worked fine.

typing ur code in a more organized manner would have helped. Wink

E.g.

body {
font-size: 12px;
background: blue;
}

Not typing in one long line really helps you visually. Plus, less mistake made.

I always write my css like this.. saves alot of time when you work on bigger projects or are tired after like 12 hours of coding..
