Entire Site Works In Safari. but NOT in Firefox!!
by joseph Wilkins on May 2, 2008 at 4:20:05 pm

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my site works fine in Safari, but then when I try it in firefox, the homepage looks fine, but the rest of the site is pretty much unrecognizable....

Here's the link to the site

http://www.pro-creative.com/ati/site/index.html

Thank you thank you for your help in advance!!

Problem is probably the addressing to your css file...
For instance - the address from the main page to your css file is

@import url(_code/L2.css);

That tells the browser to look in whatever folder the current script is in for a folder called _code and then a file called L2.css

So the css document would be in

ati/site/_code/L2.css

which exists.

However when you go to another page such as

http://www.pro-creative.com/ati/site/classes/index.html

The addressing to the css file is the same.

@import url(_code/L1.css);

So you are telling the browser to look in

ati/site/classes/_code/L1.css

for the css file which does not exist.

You could either put the css file there or put a ../ in front of the addressing which would tell the browser to go up one folder in the hierarchy to then look in

ati/site/_code/L1.css

for the file.

Why this works in Safari is beyond me as it shouldn't work in any browser with this css addressing.

Abraham...

Firstly, thank you for your trouble... I followed your instructions and created the folder and copied over the _code folder.

It still isn't working on my end...

Would you please take a look and see if I followed your instructions correctly?

Thanks again for your help!

Looks like that same principle I stated before applies to all the other elements on that page as well - your images etc. They're all setup to be relative to that folder. I suggest moving the html document to the same folder as the page that is working and try it there.
