CSS noob - Help with border color browser issue please!!!

Im having a little trouble getting this to work, its my first attempt at using one set of css instructions to control multiple tables rather than use dreamweaver to assign properties to 1 table at a time.


Code: Select all
table.ess {
    border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
    border-spacing: 0px;
    border-style: solid solid solid solid;
    border-color: #000066 #000066 #000066 #000066;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    background-color: ;
}
table.ess th {
    border-width: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
    padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
    border-style:  solid solid solid;
    border-color: #000066 #000066 #000066 #00006;
    background-color: #000066;
    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
table.ess td {
    border-width: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
    padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
    border-style: solid solid solid;
    border-color: #000066 #000066 #000066 #00006;
    background-color: #c1e7ff;
    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
My problem is that in Firefox all my table borders (TH and TD) appear as grey but in IE they appear as the colour intended. I know browsers vary but is there a way to get my desired color in FF?

I read in here that becasue browsers display things differently I might need to make one css file for FF and one for IE and use this
Code: Select all
<!--[if lte IE 6]>    <link rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" href="ieonly.css" /> <![endif]-->
to call the css file depending upon the browser viewing the page. Is this the case?

Thanks peeps!!!!!!!





EDIT//// SOLVED IT...

I removed all entries of more than one instance.. for example,

Code: Select all
border-width: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
changed to

Code: Select all
border-width: 2px;
I did that for all repeated instructions and its fine now....
