I solved your problem, as it was very simple. It will cause another problem though (as the link is not the full width of the box).

<html>
<head>
<title>to fix this.html</title>
<style type="text/css">
#navbar {
  width:250px;
  border : 1px solid #FFFF66;
}
#navbar a { 
  color:#000000; 
  background-color:#660099; 
  width:250px; 
  height:20px; 
  text-align:center; 
  text-decoration:none; 
  font-size:12pt;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

  <div id="navbar"><a href="">test</a></div>

</body>
</html>

That should get your purple in there, you had an extra ; in your code. Hope this gives you a starting point to get it to work the rest of the way.

I think for firefox you hve to put the border style before any other border stuff.
im not sure about this but its worth a try.

i have tried adding px to the end but this has no effect on the colours not showing in firefox.

#navbar a{ color:#000000; background-color:#660099; width:250; height:20; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; font-size:12;}

Always define units. 250 what? cows? 20 what? apples?
