a CSS file...having problems Options

[crazy_goat_black...]

i'm kind of new to CSS...so...yeah. and i'm having issues with my new template i'm making for the CSS reboot. the thing is, it looks absolutely perfect in internet explorer, but when i view it in firefox everything is screwed up! which obviously means there's something wrong with my code. anyone know what? i put it through the w3 validator but the report it gave me made no sense...

here it is:

CODE

<style type="text/css">

body
 {
 background:black;
 scrollbar-arrow-color:black;
 scrollbar-track-color:black;
 scrollbar-shadow-color:gray;
 scrollbar-face-color:orange;
 scrollbar-darkshadow-color:darkgray;
 scrollbar-highlight-color:lightgray;
 scrollbar-3dlight-color:orange;
font:12px Tw Cen MT white;
 }

a:link
 {
 font-color:blue;
 font:12px Tw Cen MT blue;
 font-size:12px;
 text-decoration:none;
 }

a:visited
{
font-color:blue;
font:12px Tw Cen MT blue;
font-size:12px;
text-decoration:none;
}

a:hover
{
font-color:mediumblue;
font:14px Tw Cen MT mediumblue;
font-size:15px;
text-decoration:italic;
cursor:crosshair;
background-color:black;
border:1px dashed orange;
}

#title
{
align:center;
height:50px;
width:550px;
font-color:white;
font:12px Tw Cen MT orange;
font-size:12px;
text-decoration:none;
background-color:#333333;
border:2px dashed orange;
}

#navigate
{
height:50px;
width:550px;
background-color:#000000;
}

#entry
{
align:center;
height:350px;
width:550px;
background-color:#222222;
border:2px dashed orange;
text-decoration:none;
}

#footer
{
align:center;
height:100px
width:550px;
background-color:#000000;
}
</style>

Help?

[Mulder]

well, your stylesheet goes between your <head> tags for one thing..

for the background color, use the background-color tag. and then use the html code for black : #000000.

actually, for all your colors, specify with an actual html code.

for this :

CODE

a:link
{
font-color:blue;
font:12px Tw Cen MT blue;
font-size:12px;
text-decoration:none;
}

you already have the color specified, which actually needs to be the html color. so it should be

font-family: Tw Cen MT. which im not sure is a font available online....



im probably so wrong..



heres your main problem:

you're specifying the colors and font sizes twice. you're listing the colors by their name and not by their html code.

easy to fix. IE might read names by color but i dont know about firefox.
