CSS functioning in IE only, FF-NS-Opera not ...

Hello,

I was contacted by a client to figure out why the css is not functioning on
their site. When viewed in IE everything looks ok, but when viewed in FF, NS
or opera it does not. The site is www.whistler.com. You will see a form in
the middle, various fields that should be colored yellow and using specific
widths/font etc. Again, I did not create the code, just asked to figure out
why it doesnt work. In IE, the fields are yellow, have defined widths/font.
In the other browsers, the forms are white, and have no styles applied to
them.

So... I copied all CSS files and the page source to my computer and ran it.
It works fine in all browsers... all fields were yellow etc in all
browsers... just not when running off their server... doesn't make sense to
me. I'm hoping someone may have a better idea as to why this is happening.
Please feel free to access the css files or page code if necessary. TIA all.

Robert

P.S. This last issue while may not be related to CSS i'll throw out there in
case anyone has ideas ...
http://www.whistler.com/stayhere/inf...ation-A-Z.ascx in IE when you
click a letter at the top, the page scrolls down to the appropriate section.
In all other browsers a error is generated and the page is not displayed....
I have no clue about this one.

Well, the first thing to do is un-comment the link element with the
stylesheet info in it. I didn't go further. Are they testing you?

No, this is not a test. There is a commented out stylesheet which was used
before. You will see right above that line that there is a valid stylesheet
link to the currently used file.

Touche! At any rate,
<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/v...F%2Fwww.whistl
er.com%2Fcss%2FnewHomePage.css&usermedium=all> shows serious errors in
your CSS. You might start there.
