Anyone have any easy ideas for this one. Some simple html font color codes that I added to my site work great in IE, but not it FF (haven't even checked any other browsers, but 90% of my traffic is between those 2)
here's the site
www.axovus.com

I tried running it through a validator http://validator.w3.org/ and came up with hundreds of errors, but when looking at them, most don't seem to be errors. Most of them are all proper html from what I can tell.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You should warn people on the site content (it's normal practice in these forums to add a line to your post - WARNING: adult content)

Anyway... as I see it your html syntax is not great...
IN IE6 and FF - the only difference I can see is the white text in your "welcome message" is not appearing...
e.g. my guess this is due to no closing tag for "</font>"
and you are using capitals in your syntax.
Try something like:-
<font color="#fffff" size="2">Welcome<br />Introduction to our site is as follows<br /></font>

But it would be even better if you used style tags (CSS) and called those instead of doing html inline only e.g. class="Welcometext" (and put the font attributes in that style in your CSS sheet).

I also suggest that you run through the errors you get for w3.org a bit closer - as seeing your html code, a few of them are probably real errors.

Hope comments help... cheers - Asiaplay

PS: if you ware talking about other fonts... which perhaps are not showing on my browser at all...
i.e. you have changed something else to use a special font (then please note that I am not seeing it in either IE or FF!!!...
Do make sure you stick to standard fonts e.g. arial, tahoma etc. - this is as fonts rely on the person having a font loaded on their PC and for FF, it is not possible to change font used easily I noticed i.e. each language uses a default font, which is used if the specified font is not found on someones PC (if you want to use some special font, which is not standard, then you will have to use a jpeg, with an alt tag).

which colors? it's black and white. I ddidn;t see one color. I'n my opion the site could use some professional help. Pretty boring design.

ok first thing I noticed is hex colors must start with a #.. so white is #fff or #ffffff, all '&' should be written as &amp;

No caps in html and make sure you close all tags... <BR> shold be <br />

I rarely use the <p> tage... maybe just me...

<IMG SRC> should be <img src> once again no caps.

ALT shold be alt.... no caps

<font></font> is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!! use CSS and at least make it lowercase... agian no caps...

ok got bored after sooooooooooo many caps font tags.....

WHEW!!! bad code dude....

OK, thanks for the tips, and yes I'm just a hack wearing too many hats, I know my coding sucks, I just need a clean basic site to sell my stuff. I'll get professional help sometime in the near future.
It seems like my html skills are waaay out of date.
thanks for the tips.
