Validating your css is a start

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http%3A%2F%2F people.consolidated.net%2Fseesawthis%2Fnetstart%2F css%2Fnetstart.css

Tip1:

/* This is a valid stylesheet comment */
<!-- This is not, it's an HTML comment -->

Tip2:
Length values require *units* in your stylesheet, expect for "0" and in
"line-height" where it is a ratio

Tip3:
Maybe you should learn about descendant selectors
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#descendant-selectors

No need to duplicate class on all descendant elements:

body.menu { ... }
p.menu { ... }
a.menu { ... }
....

<body class="menu">
<p class="menu"> ... <a class="menu" href="foo"> ...

could easily done:

body.menu { ... }
body.menu p { ... }
body.menu a { ... }
....

<body class="menu">
<p>... <a href="foo"> ...

Take care,

Thanks for the excellent points, Jonathan. I went through and made the
corrects you suggested on my internal server (but not published to the
WWW yet. It verifies now with the W3 validator, but the problem still
exists with FF3.

So, back to my original question.

Does anyone know why the following webpage displays as desired in IE6,
IE7, and IE8, but it does not display proplerly in Firefox 3.0.6.

Thanks, kindly.

I am surprised Jonathan did not tell you not to use frames. He has
probably thrown up his hands in despair. If you don't know a lot about
HTML and CSS, don't use frames. There, I have told you.

And there are many other things too. You should be putting doctypes on
your frames, not just your frameset doc.

How about at least getting all the frames and framesets to validate on a
public server. Also, see if you can make the website look fine without
relying on javascript. Just to start.
