Downloaded Firefox as an alternate browser to IE. I found that the forum post page does not display correctly and I could not post a new topic.

I can post using Firefox but the colors on the dialog box are heard to discern. I get dark blue letters on a black background.

Hiya.

I use Firefox without issue.

Much prefer it to IE.

Cheers.

Use Firefox. Yes the colors are a pain, but IE isn't supported for Macs.

as I post this from Firefox, I have the same page open in IE. Both full screen, and they are identical. The problem I see is the background color of some of the tables is black in Firefox, versus a dark blue in IE.

Now, looking at the code, the bg color to the table I'm typing in now is "navyBlue" - which neither is presenting, which leads me to believe that IE ignores it creates some odd blue, and Firefox drops the color value to "0" (black).

Just below this box is a table that is headed with "T O P I C R E V I E W", which is being told to display "midnightBlue", that looks like it works in both.

This is the problem with using textual colors calls - I've always advised my students to use. Where as "navy" and "navyblue" are both proper CSS color calls, I prefer to use "#000080" to ensure it's correct.

But, after all that - I prefer Firefox since about 2004. The new IE is much better than before and I code for it at work, but in my non-work related browsing, I have installed and use IE (plus there are numerous security threats constantly reported with IE).

Now, sit up straight, quit yawning, and get back to work!
