I am having problems with this exercise. The code looks fine in IE but does not display properly in Firefox. The indent -9999 doesn't look like it is working. In firefox the list shows up on the page above the menu.

This link is where I was playing around.

The style.css is

*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

body {
font-size: 62.5%;
font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

#page-wrap {
width: 500px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

ul#menu {
list-style: none;
}
ul#menu li {
display: inline;
}
ul#menu li a {
text-indent: -9999px;
display: block;
height: 100px;
float: left;
}
ul#menu li a.enter {
background: url(images/menu-enter.jpg) no-repeat bottom center;
width: 158px;
}
ul#menu li a.rules {
background: url(images/menu-rules.jpg) no-repeat bottom center;
width: 135px;
}
ul#menu li a.privacy {
background: url(images/menu-privacy.jpg) no-repeat bottom center;
width: 157px;
}
ul#menu li a.enter:hover, ul#menu li a.enter:active,
ul#menu li a.rules:hover, ul#menu li a.rules:active,
ul#menu li a.privacy:hover, ul#menu li a.privacy:active {
background-position: center center; {
}
body#enter ul#menu li a.enter,
body#rules ul#menu li a.rules,
body#privacy ul#menu li a.privacy {
background-position: top center;
}

Here is the enter.html

Hey man,

Your List Item HTML is a little messed up. Here's it corrected:



<li><a class=\"enter\" href=\"/enter.html\">Enter</a></li>
<li><a class=\"rules\" href=\"/rules.html\">Rules</a></li>
<li><a class=\"privacy\" href=\"/privacy.html\">Privacy</a></li>

Let me know how that works.

Aston,

Thanks very much. Must have been that 3:00am brain erosion or the Stargate reruns distracting me!

BTW, this is a really good site. Good info, but really helpful forum.

You're very welcome.

I agree, it's a shame I didn't find it years ago when I first started. Lots of great posts and information.

Just wanna say thank you for the codes that you have been shared.
I am hoping that this will not be the last post that I could be read written by you.
