I have one reservation about Firefox. There is one technique that I cannot get
Firefox to recognize. It is the techniqoe of "hovering". IE reads it, but
firefox does. If you want to see what I mean look at this web page of mine:
http://www.hoflink.com/~npollock/soccermenu.html
In the upper left and right corners, when the mouse slides over the link, the
link changes color with IE. However with firefox it does not.
Here is the code that is ignored by firefox:
<style type="text/css">
body { color: "blue"; font-family: none; text-decoration: none;
scrollbar-face-color: "lemonchiffon";
scrollbar-shadow-color: "darkgreen";
scrollbar-highlight-color: "darkgreen";
scrollbar-3dlight-color: "darkgreen";
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: "darkgreen";
scrollbar-track-color: "darkgreen";
scrollbar-arrow-color:"darkgreen";
}
td { color: "lemonchiffon"; font-family: none; text-decoration: none }
a { color: "lemonchiffon"; cursor: hand; font-family: none;
text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold}
a:hover { color: "red"; cursor: hand; font-family: none;
text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-style: none}
}
</style>
