Why is Firefox not displaying correctly???

I have been testing this website in multiple browswers.

http://www.allthingsoffice.com

There is supposed to be a light color in center behind the All Things Office logo and the three magazine covers. I have the site built as a table and the table cells in that center area have the background color chosen in the individual cells. All other browsers display this except for Firefox.

How can I fix this. Please help as I am under deadline with the client and they want it to appear the same in all browsers.

Thanks,
Neil Brown

I'm thinking it's because Firefox likes the color codes to be done correctly.

On the logo line:
bgcolor="edeae3"
should be
bgcolor="#edeae3"

You need to add the #

Yeah, I tested it. joder's right. You need to add the pound sign to the colors.

I have one more problem that I can't figure out.

On the same website: http://www.allthingsoffice.com, if you click on the Advertiser Index filler block on the top left, it takes you to that page.

Now if you are on the Advertiser Index page (and several of the other pages) and click on that same block it goes to the default page not found because it is trying to reference (according to the status bar) "Pages/Pages/Advertiser_Index.html" (one too many "Pages").

But if you view the source code, the link is correct:
<a href="Pages/Advertiser_Index.html">

So why and how is it inserting an extra "Pages/" if the link appears to be set up correctly?

Thanks in advance,
Neil

Thanks, I got the original problem with the background colors fixed by adding the # sign.

But now I have this other problem with my Advertiser Index link (see above). Rather than posting it in a new thread, I thought I would post it here since it's dealing with the same site.

Any ideas on how to fix (above)?

Very simple. When you go to http://www.allthingsoffice.com/Pages/Ad_Upload.html you are then in the Pages directory. Your link in the source code is to Pages/Advertiser_Index.html which would link it to http://www.allthingsoffice.com/Pages...ser_Index.html

In your source code use the absolute path to your pages /Pages/Advertiser_Index.html and this will fix it. You need the slash at the beginning then it starts at http://www.allthingsoffice.com/
this will make the link the same no matter where you are in the directory structure.
