CSS short for frustration.

[steventhomasb]

Hello, my name is Steven,
(see bold for important part if you dont want to read this little story)

I learnt a small amount of css while playing with an active desktop setup, and from that was able to make a few small site designs for myself.

That was several years ago, and tonight i decided to get to work on the site i want, over those years ive moved on to use firefox over crazybrowser, and its driving me crazy, ive been searching for hours for a solution, i read and tried to understand this sites answers for similar sounding questions, but here i am.

By now i am extremely frustrated, there is one small thing i wish to have happen. I would like for the width and height commands here to be FINAL, firefox does not seem to understand this, the height command just doesnt work at all and the width is only considered if nothing is stretching it, there must be a way the put a vice(the extreme crushing/holding kind) on firefox (and hopefully hurt it...alot...im frustrated :/)

body{ font:12pt therion; color:#999999; }
img { border:0px; }
a:hover { color:#ffffff; }
.title { font-weight:bold; }

#sidebar {
border:0px solid #FFFFFF;
position:absolute; left:70px; top:230px;
width="100px"; height="300px"; <----- these ones here

It works for IE and Crazybrowser so i cant be too far off the right idea.

Not that it doesn't understand it, its just that you don't understand what CSS really is yet.
#sidebar {
border:0px solid #FFFFFF;
position:absolute; left:70px; top:230px;
width:100px; height:300px;
}
And what is Crazybrowser?

You are my hero! that worked perfectly, i readlly should have tried that, i had all quotation marks, no quotation marks, spaces, no spaces,

Thank you very much :)

Now, Crazybrowser is the first tabbed internet browser i ever used, and still use it now, its pretty good, dont know about security, or how it compares to any of the other ones out there, only problem i had with it, and the reason i changed to firefox is because if you close the browser the downloads get canned...one too many times downloading something large and ive cleaned up closing un needed windows and suddenly realised i had just closed the past 4 hours downloading, perhaps this has been changed now though.

p.s thanks again :D

Crazybrowser is an Internet Explorer add-on that adds tabs to IE. It has all the same issues and security holes as IE since it is just putting a new face over that browser.

... suddenly realised i had just closed the past 4 hours downloading, perhaps this has been changed now though.Even Firefox has limited download functionality. You may want to consider using a download client instead of the browser to handle that since they typically include download resumption functionality; that is, you can take up where you left off even if your computer goes offline or you accidently close the window. I use Download Accelerator Plus (http://www.speedbit.com/); there are many others out there to choose from if that one doesn't suit your needs, however.
