Answer 2

+4 A:

You have visible:false; -- "false" is not valid value. You either mean visibility: collapse;, but that likely has poor support in older browsers, or the old standby display: none;.

Please validate your CSS.

Wow, that's a lot of visibility settings... are those all really necessary?

Answer 3

A:

There are a lot of validation errors on the page, which could be causing problems. These ones sound most important:

document type does not allow element "script" here; assuming missing "head" start-tag
document type does not allow element "head" here
document type does not allow element "body" here
ID "search" already defined
...plus a bunch of errors from the Javascript (check your CDATA definitions)

Also as Anonymous pointed out, there are CSS errors. There is no property visible - I'm guessing you want visibility: hidden. But I'm positive you don't need so many things hidden.

Answer 4

A:

For me also, your website is working on Firefox 3.5 and on Chrome, but Firefox 3.6 has problems. Your presentation is working, but the

<span class="hidden"> .... </span>

tags are showing up instead of remaining hidden.

Why are those tags there?

If you want to keep them, you probably want to clean up your definition of the "hidden" class, like Anonymous says, you cannot specify "visible: false". Remove it, and then validate the rest of your CSS and HTML. There are really a lot of errors.

Answer 5

+7 A:

Okay, firstly, your CSS is a mess. Secondly, there's this declaration:

#faq-bb li { list-style-image:url(/display_images/stonewall/faq_bullet.gif; list-style-type: none; margin: -2px; padding: 0px;  visible:false;}

Note the very important missing second ) around the URL. Looks like FF 3.6 is a bit more picky.

+1 for "picky" Picky is good.

Jarrett Meyer 2010-01-27 15:50:18

Another word for picky? Conformant. In reality, it should never have been nice enough to guess where the end of the url( ) was. I kind of wish that they would be more restrictive to prevent bad coding.

Thanks guys. Firefox seems to be dropping any declarations with unrecognized/erroneous css properties. veeeery harsh compared to other browsers out there.Tough love i suppose.Thanks again though, pretty much everyone here was spot on with the "fix your shit css" messages - that is definitely the problem.Si

Si 2010-01-27 16:20:42

@Si it complains but generally doesn't drop the whole declaration. I tested the fix by just adding in the missing bracket and it worked. It looks like other browsers and FF < 3.6 manage to recover from or safely ignore the missing `)` once they get to the `}` but 3.6 looks for the `)` in the rest of the file and gives up. I agree with the "tough love" approach somewhat, but this just looks like a bug.
