Hi, I am in deep trouble here.
My whole website has a template embedded from css.
I booted the site up in firefox, and the template wont load.
I am now worried that other browsers will react the same, so far, i can only guarantee that IE7 works.
If you have firefox or enything other than IE, please visit this site, and tell me if it works.
thanks in advance

I don't see the style in FF, I think it's the css import command, try using the link command instead after the tags:

When I tried to check the css through the validator I got this error:
Servlet has thrown exception:javax.servlet.ServletException: Timed out
Try to check the css for errors and also correct the code errors.
You've used Front Page, and it is known for messing things up.

I HATE FIREFOX!!!
I finally got the template working, thanks to demonhale. and now the content is messed up!!!
If you are reading this today, I will not be uploading till it is sorted, so please dont go to the website.
Thanks to everyone for their support, but only I can sort it from here. I know the coding of my page, and this is what happens when you use too many tables inside a table that contains a few tables supporting a medium sized table containing 3 tables holding a frame with a couple of tables with content to to match a university handwriting class!!!
Jesus H Christ... Why did I start web-design??? lol.

It's important to remember that it's Microsoft that doesn’t bother complying with the standards. Probably because they feel they have such a big market share that they can afford to make peoples lives harder lol.
Code for Firefox first and worry about IE later, it will save you headaches...

<-- UPDATE -->
I LOVE FIREFOX!!!
It allows me to preview PHP offline.
I am now using Dreamweaver. I just need 1 more answer. What is the best thing to put in CSS, and leave rest to the page itself?
I have a external CSS file, What are the best jobs to give it?
Is the table ok inside the php file?

The purpose of css is to separate design from content, which is really your answer.
Really the only thing that should be on the page itself is the content; all design aspects should all be placed in the external css file.
So the fonts, colours, headings, sizes, and table attributes should be placed into the css file.

Ahh, right, but I have made the table, and fonts indie the html (php) file.
I tried to create a css table, but opened the file, then closed it again quickly without a backward glance.
I have no problems like this, everything is fine, all validation tests are fine, all reports are good. If you predict this to be a fatel mistake, plz tell me cuzz i reli cant face re-building everything again.

Are you saying you want to get rid of tables and use divs instead?
You should really start to move the attributes I mentioned above like font and colour ect into the css at some point as like I said the point of css is to separate the design from the content. Otherwise you may as well get rid off the css file and put the template background in the page (which I don't recommend).

Yes, That is what I want
I dont want any formatting on my page, just in the CSS, but like I said, I dont know what to do. I will peobably sound like an amature asking for everything on here, but I dont want the code giving to me, I just need it explaining. I really need to learn this stuff, not just copy and paste.
For one thing, IDK how to call a table in CSS, html is pretty simple.
Can you or someone plz help me to understand the properties of CSS, it is nothing like html/php.
and I shall pay you to NEVER mention JS, I have encountered that, and made a Vow to never go down there again.

Hi, I am fine with this setup, just one last question... the only non-text thing I am using on the actual page is Tables. Thats It!
All formatting, Cursors, and background images are from css. Is this OK?

Now all I have is text.
I DID IT!!! I MADE MY OWN DIVS WITHOUT ANY HELP!!!
to you this is normal, but to me this is MASSIVE, I have actually done it in css, without any visual editor, and it works.
If you want to help, then please tell me a way to lock the divs in place, so i dont accidentaly move them when i am changing the content.
Thanks in advance.
