I have done css for Firefox many times, have never encountered
this.. would appreciate some leads..

A URL to the CSS file in question would make it much easier.

thanks... http://www.francesdelrio.com/cc/viewer.css

And what is the page that should use that stylesheet?
First I was guessing your main page, but that one doesn't even have a
reference to the stylesheet. Then I figured it would be about the page
http://www.francesdelrio.com/cc/, but that one is referencing a
different stylesheet. So.. which page is it that doesn't let Firefox
read the stylesheet?

I can't post code for pg calling stylesheet (this is for work... doesn't
even go in path I posted earlier for stylesheet, I just stylesheet there
yesterday to check css-syntax on line at the w3c site..), but call to
stylesheet is as follows:

LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="viewer.css"
as you can see, nothing fancy, nothing unusual... thank you very much..

Hard to tell without a look at the actual server environment you are
seeing the error on. But, I'd suspect that possibly the server is
sending the wrong MIME type for the style sheet OR, possibly, that the
relative link in the HTML reference is not resolving correctly. Try an
absolute link with the full URL to the style sheet.

No, the server is sending the correct MIME type.
My wild guess is, that there is a syntax error in the JavaScript on
the HTML page, and the stylesheet is referenced *after* that
JavaScript, and therefore isn't recognised.
Frances - try taking out all the JavaScript from the <head> on your
HTML page - does the problem persist then?

there is no JS BEFORE call to stylesheet.. also if error is

Error: Unexpected end of file while searching for ',' or '{'.
Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.
Source File: file:///T:/_mac/Pres110886_TOL_Altera/content/template/main.css
Line: 1

and I click on ref to .css file it takes me to .css file.. how can this
be a JS error? ('Ruleset' is a css thing, right?)
(took out JS inside <head> problem persists..)

this is truly baffling, it's like FF is not finding stylesheet..

Is file:///T:/_mac/Pres110886_TOL_Altera/content/template/main.css the
same file as http://www.francesdelrio.com/cc/viewer.css ? Is it served
from the same server? I said earlier that it was sent with the correct
MIME type, but that was on the server that serves
http://www.francesdelrio.com/cc/viewer.css. I don't know anything
about your local server of course. If you have the Web Developer
Toolbar installed in FF, check the MIME type your CSS file is served
with, by clicking 'Information' and then 'Page Information' in the
Developer Toolbar.

So Firefox 1.5 fails not on comment within style itself, but on some
combination of rule declarations and comments.

So what is the magic difference between erroneus:
style><!--
body,td,a,p,.h{font-family:arial,sans-serif;}
.h{font-size: 20px;}
.q{color:#0000cc;}
//--
/style

and Ok'ed:

style
!--
body { background-color: #FFFFFF}
--
/style

The difference is quite simple & fairly easy to find: click on the
link Firefox provides in the console - it will highlight the error.

The error is the difference between:
-->
and
//-->

The "bad selector" is //, which is NOT a CSS comment
(http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_syntax.asp), and therefore is not
being read as one. Eliminate the // and the problem goes away.

I have found this behavior consistent with the test cases I've tried.

I don't think that's a Firefox bug. Rather, it's a coding error.

Drag it from Windows Explorer and drop it into a Firefox browser window.
It's a zipped archive with automatic install. FF will ask if you want
to install it.

Unfortunately Firefox dumps in JavaScript console all its complains
about the life - layout, script and style all together.

If some CSS expert could explain what makes Firefox so upset that would
be great.

Ah, I see what I missed. That is a Javascript comment delimiter in a

I don't think javascript has selectors or rulesets.

Previously, though, there was nowhere to send a message about CSS errors,
they were silently handled. I guess Firefox decided the JS console was as
good a place as any.

JS, CSS and XML errors are all reported through the JS console.
