CSS Border only showing in IE6, not FireFox 3, Opera

I seem to be missing the borders from div.level1 and div.level2 when viewed in FireFox or Opera. Simplified version of the code.

Am I declaring border styles incorrectly? Mostly just copied examples from w3schools.

Versions used:
IE 6.0 sp2
Firefox 3.0.3
Opera 9.5.1

I'm no expert but after a quick look I noticed you forgot to add a semicoln after your borders in the declaration.

Ah,ok thanks. can't believe it was something that stupid. Error didn't show when I validated with w3c. Curse IE6 for rendering invalid pages.

Another problem you will have is that you are using the xml declaration on the first line. It is correct to do this but only modern browsers understand it while IE6 will go into quirks mode and not attempt to perform like a modern browser.

Also, case matters in XHTML. Your closing tag </HTML> will be flagged by the validator. Not that is matters because you aren't serving XHTML anyway and no version of IE handles XHTML either.

This is apparently an ie display bug, I can't seem to figure out which ie bug this is. a 3 sided border is created by wrapping the 'inner' box in the 'middle' box and padding the 'middle' box 1px on 3 sides. It looks the same in firefox and ie. Then the same box is wrapped in yet another box with a red border on the bottom. In Firefox the 'middle' box still has padding on only 3 sides, and the red border is showing on the bottom. In...

Hi, the following div is 38 pixels high in IE and Opera, however 42 pixels in Firefox (apparently it calculates the height exclusively the border width) <div style="background-color: #000000; height: 38px; border: 2px solid #FF0000;"></div> Now, I dont know which of them is right, but I would like to know

Hello group, this is my first message to a newsgroup so I hope I've done everything right ;-) My problem is that I'd like to have a border via css. This seems to be working on the IE, but not on my favourite Browser Firefox ;-) Firefox shows the border if the site in the frame has not been loaded yet. But if the site shows up the border seems to be overwritten..

Has anyone run into the problem of firefox 'border-collapse: collapse' rendering a table 1-pixel too far to the left? In IE and Opera it will render fine...Does anyone know if this is a bug?
