86186 - Navigator not rendering background color for a DIV box when specified in CSS

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Joel Beach]

Hi,

This page does not display div boxes with a coloured background. Check the
stylesheet s340gt.css at the same location and index.html. It should work (does
in Internet Explorer 5.0 and Opera)

you mean 340style.css ? there seem to be something wrong with the css file.

The css is invalid. The style for h5 is missing a closing brace. Try using the
w3c stylesheet validator, then you get to add another image to you page ;) .
Mozilla ignores all css after the invalid part if I'm not mistaken.

h5 {
        margin-left: 0;
        color: black;
        font-family: sans-serif;
        font-weight: bold;
        font-size: 150%;


h6 {

Over to evangelism.  We _do_ ignore everything after the missing close brace
because we think it's all style rules to apply to h5.

Hi Guys....

I've now fixed up the css. Although the stylesheet was invalid, behaviour is
different to other browsers....

I've saved the invalid stylesheet as 340style.css.old if anyone wants to view
it. It's a simple syntax error.

The CSS spec is very strict about how invalid CSS is to be parsed.  And in this
case I believe we're following the spec.

Marking fixed (since the site has been updated).  If you believe that out
parsing of the CSS in question does not conform to spec, please file a bug on
the Style System and attach the stylesheet in question (or better yet a small
testcase stylesheet) to the bug.

Thanks for using Mozilla and reporting bugs!
