278840 - CSS not working in frame based sites

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Jill Marchand]

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

This is a frames based site. Mozilla reads the CSS for the surrounding frames
(top and left) but not the main body frame. As you can see, the text size does
not display  correctly in this frame, it's way too large (I added a font tag
around the first line in the body frame "- Engine Builder Since 1958 -" so that
sentence is displaying as the correct size now). 

This same problem is happening in my other frames based site,
www.ImportPerformanceParts.net. The header (top) frame displays using the CSS
properties, but doesn't display text using CSS in the body frames. This happens
throughout the site (click on Acura on the left hand column and you'll see that
CSS is not working on that page either, and so on). 

Font size is only displaying correctly in frame body page if I use the <font
size=""> tag.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to www.FlatlanderRacing.com
2. also check out www.ImportPerformanceParts.net
3.

Actual Results:  
you see that the body frame (main content) of each web site has messed up font
sizes as the CSS is not working on those frames.

Expected Results:  
CSS should work properly in all frames of the site. These frames display 100%
correctly in IE and for the most part in Netscape as well.

Is the problem only with font size, or something else?

At least nothing looks wrong: the text is all the same size (slightly larger
than menu in left frame), and "Engine Builder.." is same size as rest of text in
that box..

Marking worksforme until reporter explains more clearly what the problem is.
