[css-d] Can view in Safari but not Firefox

2009-06-22 Thread Ellen Heitman 
I know it's hard to determine without seeing the actual site, but I don't
have a test site up yet. Just wondering if anyone can see anything
immediately wrong with the following CSS, in terms of it appearing in
Mozilla. It appears perfectly well in Safari.
#timelinebkgd {
background: url(images/timeline_bkgd.jpg);
width: 689px;
height:653px;
position:absolute;
top:24px;
left:12px;
z-index:5;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}

It applies to the following HTML:

div id=timelinebkgd
pPan the timeline by dragging it horizontally/p
div id=my-timeline/div
/div

Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Thanks!

The only thing I see is margin:0 auto; is redundant when you are using
position:absolute (positioning takes precedence).

Other than that we do really need a URL to figure it out. Probably
some other parent element is causing the issue?

I bet it's to do with the absolute positioning. Try giving an ancestor  
of timelinebkgd position: relative. That's just a guess though. As  
Divya said, you need to show us something.
