Border "kind of" rendering

Hi all,

This is bizarre. I can't get a border to render on the left side of a cell in Firefox. When I use the Web Developer extension to outline all table cells, then the border is rendered. The same goes if I use the extension to edit the CSS - as soon as the sidebar is loaded, the border shows.

The problem is getting the border to render on cell 'A':

Code: Select all

+-------+
| A |   |
+---+ B |
| C |   |
+-------+
even though the style declaration sets the border on the left side of 'B'. This works fine if 'B' isn't full of content - which leads me to believe somehow the 'B' is extending beyond the width it *should* be getting.

It works perfectly fine in IE, and both CSS & XHTML validate.

See it in action here: http://nderson.ca/cms/

Thanks for any advice!

Hi there,

Your border is actually rendering. It's pushed by the content way below.


That's some furry ass on that pic. :roll:

Are you allowed to have an id named "body"?

Actually, the border is rendering on another cell (cell C in my diagram).

I've changed the id to 'content' but to no avail - same thing.
