I'm coming across a strange issue:I designed my pages with some tables with their specific colours;off line the site looks fine but when I upload the pages,the on line result is disappointing:colours shades are quite differents!
Is Anyone able to explain me why?
Thanks in advance
Sincerely
Eliz.
(Note to readers: In his other thread [webmasterworld.com] on this topic, he asked if his .htacess file was the culprit.)
It was the browser,Mozilla Firefox...
As I work at the pages on a system,that shown the correct view, and connect to the internet from another one.
Anyway,not able to understand why this browser shows "fake" colours and also table dimensions...
I tried to modify some settings but nothing happens.
If there is a Firefox expert his participation is wellcome.
Thanks,anyway for your replies.

Are all the colors different, or just some? Are you using the hex codes for the colors, or (possibly proprietary) "names"?
You mention that your tables' dimensions are wrong. Do you mean that the display of the tables is different, or that the actual coding (which sets the dimensions) is somehow different in Firefox?
You say that you "tried to modify some settings but nothing happens." Which settings? How did you change them? Did "nothing" happen only in Firefox, or were none of the displays changed?
Thank you.

So you're looking at the same page on the same machine with the same monitor, and the appearance is different in different browsers...?
Exactly.

Only the central table has different shades in comparison to the "original" one:I'm using hex codes for the colours.
You mention that your tables' dimensions are wrong. Do you mean that the display of the tables is different, or that the actual coding (which sets the dimensions) is somehow different in Firefox?
i don't know exactly what happens but Firefox seems to have problems with iframe codes:it shows the "framing pages" over the "framed" one.

I found a code string I've not entered like "bordercolordark" "bordershade" or similar stuff with their own hex values.I deleted it but it hadn't any effect.
Firefox still shows "fake" colours/tables...
Thank you.
Stuff like...
"bordercolordark" "bordershade"
...sounds like an MS prog(frontpage?) or something.
The first port of call for any inconsistent rendering problem should be a validator. It's quick, it's simple and it immediately rules out one possible cause of problems.
Even if you don't ultimately expect to get a "pass", validation can find errors you won't easily spot by manually inspecting code. For instance, IE may accept = instead of : in CSS.
