276638 - CSS not handled correctly unless you toggle Page Style

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[DDF]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In the page at www.fromltojsoftware.com is a link to My Account.  Take the link
and you will go to http://www.fromltojsoftware.com/stars/HomePage.do (which is
the entry way into a secure area, but you do not have to go any further to see
the error.) 


The HTML source from the steps to reproduce (1) and (2) is identical.  The page
works on Safari, IE 5 and IE 6 on appropriate Mac (8.6 - X) and Windows (98 -
XP) platforms.

CSS is defined as:<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"
href='/stars/styles/default.css' />, so the MIME type is coming in correctly (I
think).

There are no JavaScript errors reporte dint he console.
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.After taking the My Account link, you will get a Firefox page that is "Done"
but blank. 
2.Use the View/Page Styles and toggle to "No Style" - page looks funny, but use
the View/Page Styles and toggle to "Basic Page Style" and all is well.
3.

Actual Results:  
Data tables not displaying.


I have set the severity to Normal, but all of our Firefox users have had to
switch to IE...not a good thing.

OK, I am tenacious given that it was probably my problem - it was.  I found a ##
in a font-color: After fixing it all is well.

The following link is very useful to anyone that needs to validate their CSS:

A bug is either INVALID or WORKSFORME if nothing was actually fixed in Firefox.
