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?

The URL is http://peglegsurf.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath= 6

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

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

Another thing you want to do is properly resize your thumbnails.

Example:
http://peglegsurf.com/store/images/window_shirt.jpg

Specified dimensions: 100px × 75px
Actual dimensions: 400px × 300px

Resize the actual image file to 100 by 75.

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.

Why not? Isn't is so powerful that is can do everything from cure
hemorrhoids to promote world peace? ;-) Anyway it is powerful enough to

I know for a fact it does not cure hemroids!

This has been a personal goal* I have had for about a year. And now
they've provided me the tools...

*Note to the Microsoft Secret Police. This post was a joke. I have
not been planning ways to bring down Vista. I love it, really I do.
It's that Neredbojias person you need to look at.

Actually I think MS did it to themselves, after the umteenth time of
clicking the security dialog "Do you really want to..." the user will
intentionally do something to hose the system!

I seem to remember reading or hearing about a laser treatment for
hemorrhoids recently. So, yeah, maybe a Flash could do that! Or,
maybe, if the perpetrator was ugly enough a Flasher might contract my
sphincter harshly and suddenly enough to solve the problem. On the other
hand, if I were a shark ... um ... do sharks have sphincters?

I am a little guy, and it seems to me that Microsoft has been trying to
screw the little guy for as far back as I can remember.

But don't forget, Mr. Gates., that it was the "little guy" who made you
your $60 billion+ fortune, not the big guys you are now trying to get into
bed with. Sleep with the devil and you'll go to hell. On the other hand,
if you earnestly strive to make your product something actually worthwhile
to the normal, average person, Elysium may just be your reward. "The meek
shall inherit the earth".
