Help With Colored Background Cells in Firefox vs. IE6

firefox problems, ie6, background colors

I have a site that i'm designing with a colored cell at the top, to avoid loading a graphic and sizing issues. It looks fine in IE6, but the color does not exist in Firefox. It's completely blank. Any ideas? Is the html different in firefox to add a cell background color?

<td style="background-color:#abcdef;"> Just replace abcdef with the hex number and remember to use the "#" mark.

That should give you a cross-browser standard. Also, the cell should have at least one bit of content, even if it's only a non-breaking space.
