IE vs. FF

Here is a VERY strange occurance. I modified a Zen Cart installation by
editing the stylesheet.css. When I looked at it in Firefox all the
changes are there. (Basically, all I did was change background colors,
colors and borders). When I looked at in IE6, only the earlier changes
were there.

So, I figured that there was caching. I deleted the temp files and the
cookies. Exited the browser (while on a different page), and reopened.
Same thing.

Then I went to another machine that had never looked at this site. Same
thing.

I did a view source on both FF and IE and they are both identical and
pointing to the same css file.

How is this possible?

Thank you. That did it. I am a PHP programmer who does some Javascript
and now I had to tackle a CSS. Force of habit. Interestingly, FF seems
to handle it as a comment since I do all of my development in FF.

Thanks again.

Actually, FF handles it as an invalid rule due to a syntax error and
discards is as it is supposed to, and IE ignores the error and parses
the rule as it "guesses" it to be as it is *not* supposed to...

That is why those IE underscore hacks "_border: ..." 'work', (as least
for now)... BTW: I am not condoning the hacks

First thing to do is to fix up all errors as best as you can:

Huh! Last time I looked this last was to the css validator. Now it is to
some BBC site. No idea how this happened?

It's probably a daylight savings time issue.

Ed. You are teasing me! I can tell straight away. <g>

Who cares. Get better images of the t-shirts. The images you have
now look like hell and will probably cost you more business and
anything else you could do to gain business.

Flash would fix it right?
