css problems with left col/menu

Expand Post »
hi,

I have this css code
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. #leftcol { 
  2. 	position:relative;
  3. 	top:-10px;
  4. 	left:-10px;
  5. 	float:left;
  6. 	width:220px;  
  7. 	voice-family: "\"}\"";
  8. 	voice-family:inherit;
  9. 	width:200px; 
  10. 	margin:0 0 -10px 0;
  11. 	padding:10px;
  12. 	background:#FFFFFF;
  13. 	z-index:100;
  14. 	}
  15. #rightcol {
  16. 	position:relative;
  17. 	top:-10px;
  18. 	right:-10px;
  19. 	float:right;
  20. 	width:220px;  
  21. 	voice-family: "\"}\"";
  22. 	voice-family:inherit;
  23. 	width:200px;
  24. 	margin:0 0 -10px 0;
  25. 	padding:10px;
  26. 	background:#FFFFFF;
  27. 	z-index:99;
  28. 	}
  29. #centercol {
  30. 	position:relative;
  31. 	padding:0 240px;
  32. 	}

Re: css problems with left col/menu

Perhaps adjusting the margin attribute could help, for example if your left column had something like "margin-right: 10px;"

Re: css problems with left col/menu

Negative margin values are nonstandard, and can fail.

The capital letters in the color definition may be causing Firefox to throw out the style.
