Re: [WSG] Disapearing list in Firefox 0.9
Hi Bhuvnesh, When I hover the mouse over an un-ordered list, the list simply disappears in FireFox 0.9. Does anybody have a remedy ? Let's check we have all the available information on this one: You have an unstyled unordered list inside the body of an otherwise empty, yet valid (x)HTML page - and when this page is rendered in Firefox 0.9 and the mouse pointer moved over the list, the list disappears? Is your page publicly accessible (and if so, can you provide a URL)? Regards, Ben * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *

That would be a pretty big bug even for Microsoft to let slip through. I think it's safe to assume some vital info is missing. BTW, Did you validate? If not, it's a good place to start before posting your question. ...can you provide a URL? What? And make it so we don't have to guess? Are you looking to spoil everyones the fun?

I have just put the test page on a web server.

The URL is: http://www.rba.gov.au/BC_Test/overview.jsp As indicated by both Mordechai and Ben, you should really validate your code before asking for help. It is an easy, automated way of pointing out potential bug sources In this case, you have given two elements the id of nav. This does not comply with the W3C specs. 'id' is only to be used once on each page, whereas 'class' may be used repeatedly (or only once). The problem with your initial testing having been done in IE is that IE incorrectly allows multiple IDs. Try Firefox 0.9 or another compliant browser as your main testing browser and refer back to others (such as IE) for bug testing I suggest that you follow these links and correct all errors (not too many, actually) to see if that fixes your problem : http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1uri=http%3A//www.rba.gov.au/BC_Test/overview.jsp http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2warning=2uri=http%3A//www.rba.gov.au/BC_Test/overview.jsp Oh, and I also noticed that you use 'Ul' in your CSS code. Firefox (and I think, many other browsers) are case-sensitive. As such, 'Ul' is different to 'ul'. This may also cause you some trouble Hope that helps!

Re: [WSG] Disapearing list in Firefox 0.9
My stupid, uncaffeinated self just wrote: 'id' is only to be used once on each page, whereas 'class' may be used repeatedly (or only once). Despite proof-reading it twice, I missed a major blunder : I was referring to each specific 'id', such as nav. Therefore the sentence should have read: Each 'id' is only to be used once on each page, whereas each 'class' may be used repeatedly (or only once). Ugh. I'm going for more coffee * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
Re: [WSG] Disapearing list in Firefox 0.9
I have just put the test page on a web server. The URL is: http://www.rba.gov.au/BC_Test/overview.jsp To find out what was going with your list, I used Pixy's excellent List Computed Styles favelet (http://pixy.cz/blog/favelets/) Changing the default font-size to display, then visible showed no styles affecting the visibility of the list. But check the color and you'll see the li is inheriting the #fff of your a:hover It's all smoke and mirrors. The list never leaves the page, just camouflaged. White font color against white background. Easy fix: change the a name=content / to a name=content/a You might also rethink colouring your a:hover white. - ben * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
