Need help regarding firefox vs. ie

I changed the scroll bar, the fonts and the background using this..

<style type="text/css">

background-image: url(yourimage.gif);
background-color: #EFF1F6;
(Warning: the following cursor attribute is for those who use IE only!)
cursor: value; [default, auto, wait, crosshair, hand, help, text, move, s-resize, e-resize, w-resize, ne-resize, nw-resize, se-resize, sw-resize]
cursor: url('yourdomain.com/cursor.ani');}
body
{
background: #EFF1F6;
background-image: url(/value);
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
[url of background image to be used, i.e. background.gif]
background-repeat: value; [repeat, no-repeat, repeat-x, repeat-y]
background-position: valueI valueII; [valueI: top, center, bottom, percentage, pixel number]
[valueII: right, center, left, percentage, pixel number]
background-attachment: value; [scroll, fixed]
(Warning: the following scrollbar attribute is for those who use IE only!)
scrollbar-face-color : #EFF1F6;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #EFF1F6;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #EFF1F6;
scrollbar-shadow-color : #EFF1F6;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #EFF1F6;
scrollbar-track-color : #EFF1F6;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #698089;
.text {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
</style>


now i understand that the scrollbars will only be different on ie and thats fine, but the text and the background are different. the text is like new times and the background is white when viewed in firefox. why is it ok on ie but not on firefox??

That's broken CSS. Stick into the "Validate by direct input" box on this page an hit "check": The W3C CSS Validation Service

By the looks of it you have done a direct copy and paste from a tutorial
ie. background-repeat: value; [repeat, no-repeat, repeat-x, repeat-y]
value needs to be replaced with a value thats inside the [ ]'s
background-image: url(/value);
Again, value needs to be replaced, this time with a url of the background image. There are a few others, that are like this.

Your first 4 styling lines arent associated with a container such as body, so it doesnt know what to apply that styling on.

lol, I love it when people think it's just as simple as cut and paste...

I was thinking the same thing. There should be a new rule that it has to be a semi-live page so we can all use our web dev toolbars :-D instead of our brains.
