Quick CSS tip – width working in IE but not Firefox?

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:16:19 +0000

Just noticed a quick flaw which works with IE but not Firefox. I had a table where I was specifying the width. This was working fine in IE, but strangely Firefox was ignoring the width and scaling the table to match the width of the contents?

Turns out I was specifying the width as an integer without appending “px”. So width=100 tells IE to use 100 pixel width but Firefox ignores it. Change it to “width=100px” and both are happy…

Links not working in Firefox

Just had a problem with a website which worked fine in IE, however when viewed in Firefox, some of the links weren’t working!

Turns out it was a problem with the z-axis. One of the other elements on the page was appearing on top of the links and obscuring them. By using “z-index” I was able to re-order the elements, bringing the links to the surface again – and all worked fine again.

Here’s a good description of how to use z-index:
