interpretation-difference between FireFox and IE?

[Anakin_holland]

Hello folks,

Just ran into a situation I can't solve on my own... I adjusted some colors in the file style.css, but IE won't show one of them?

I changed this:

Code Select Expand

#bodyarea
{
       background-color: #D4D4D4;
}

Into this:

Code Select Expand

#bodyarea
{
        background-color: #FFC125;
}

But as you can see below, IE won't display the color?

FireFox:


IE:


I searched the file, but #D4D4D4 wasn't found at all anymore, and the term "gray" only appeared in the header-boxes... I also tried 4 other colors, ending up with the same result.

I have the same situation if I use transparent images. FF is good, IE displays a gray background...

I guess this has something to do with IE not following W3C to the letter?

Cheers!

I'm not sure what might cause this.  Do you have a link?

Could be cell spacing of the tables (should be "0") and or css padding values.
Sorry i thought u mean the border :-p

hmm try
body{
background-color: #FFC125;
}

Thnx tentronik,

That did the job!

You wouldn't by any chance have a solution to the transparent images not showing properly?

Cheers!

Are the transparent images png 24?
IE cant display png 24 propably try png 8 instead.

It is 24-bit true colour indeed. Other choices are 16 colours and 256 colours. That looks like crap... 

Cheers anyway!
