disappearing act on drop down in mozilla

Post by magicrobotmonkey »

Can you guys look at http://ourwedding.no-ip.org/wedding/ with firefox and tell me if somethings wrong with my browser or my design. When I use either one of the drop down boxes, upon making a selection the entire form disappears until i hit reload. its still there because i can click on the submit button, its just invisible. here's my css:

Code: Select all

body {background-color:#F7F7F7;
      text-align: center;
      scrollbar-face-color: #F7F7F7;
      scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
      scrollbar-shadow-color: #F7F7F7;
      scrollbar-3dlight-color: #D1D1D1;
      scrollbar-arrow-color:  #0F0F0F;
      scrollbar-track-color: #EFEFEF;
      scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #0F0F0F;
      line-height: 13px}

div { background-color:#F7F7F7;
      font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
      font-variant: small-caps;
      padding: 5px;
      border-width:1px;
      border-style:solid;
      border-color:#0F0F0F;
      width:700px;
      text-align: center}

span { position:relative;
       font-size: 10pt;
       display:table-cell}

.labels{ width:100px;
          text-align:left
          }

.writings{width:350px;
          text-align:left
         }

.credits {font-size: 7pt}

input, select {
	    color : #0F0F0F;
	    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
      font-size: 10pt;
      font-variant: small-caps;
	    border-color : #0F0F0F;
      border-width:1px;
      background-color:#F7F7F7;
  }
Thanks

that's better! now my only problem with mozilla is that i cant get it to new tabs instead of new windows. I love how tabs keeps the desktop uncluttered, but when it opens new windows id rather have it open a new tab,

That definitely has something to do with display:table-cell. Changing it to display:block solves the problem.

There isn't (currently) a target definition for opening in a new tab. I've been wanting one for a long, long time. ;)
