Default Newbie - lost in CSS!

Hey all,

I'm helping a friend develop a site.

I have extremely limited CSS experience (sorry!) but tried all the same to change the content within Dreamweaver. The amended page loaded offline fine in Firefox and IE.

But when I upload it, Firefox displays it very differently! IE look ok.

As a matter of interest, am I looking at a serious problem, or can this be remedied simply?

Thanks in advance!

There's still a little work to do - so be patient with my layout so far!!

The website is way over the top. You can not read the content due to too many bright colors.

Anyway, what seems to be the problem.... the background repeating or what...

BTW this is not a proper link to your CSS file:
Code:
<link href="file:///E|/WEBSITES/CSS%20Test/colorus/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Thanks for the help - I think I fixed it:

I appreciate any advice, but I honestly don't think it's over the top or overkill with the colours - Thanks again Louie! lesson learnt for today!

Besides, I've still a lot to do with it.

Yeah, I thought it was going to be a HUGE coding problem!

I guess it just goes to show sometimes the simpest things are to blame (that, and my inexperience!!)

As a matter of interest Louie, If I create the different pages from the master I've prodiced and then hotlink the navabr, should the navigation work?

Thanks again...

look into include file if php.

save the head content into a file called header.php than just use include directive
Code:
include("header.php");
this way any changed made to the file will reflect straight away and you only have to do it once.
