Why is this? Is there a certain way borders should be coded in Firefox? For example, here's what I used for 2 borders in my css: BORDER-RIGHT:cc0099 10px solid; BORDER-TOP:cc0099 10px solid; But when the page is opened with Firefox, the borders don't show up at all! I don't have the # in front of the color because with MYSPACE it won't show up, and it shows is as an error. With MYSPACE you have to put the color without the #. So no, I DONT mean #cc0099!

Why does my webpage look good in firefox and then change on reload or refresh? I am testing my webpages in various browsers and firefox has some quirky issues. My page will show correctly and then when i hit refresh it will show up with my tabled images moved askew. If I hit refresh again it will look perfect and then the next couple of clikcs go back and forth between having errors or having no errors. If my page had errors I would try to correct them. But most of the time the pages load great. I have a fast internet connection but the times when the page doee not load correctly there is like a two second lag. Other than that the page loads almost immediately. Something funky is going on and I don't know what or why. I am looking for a solid explanation why this would happen.
