The are some errors, like a double charset and starting an ID with a number. In FF I don't see a difference when I cancel the whole #outer { background-color: transparent; }. Can it be omitted without consequences? If neded, did you try { background-color: inherit; }?
Greetings, francky ____________________________________________________________________ Thanks to All who have helped on this issue, I validated the page, and tried various ideas, but it remained black. I took a new look at the code (originally from Rachel Andrew's book "The CSS Anthology") and noticed the left column is really laid over top of a very wide border. If I set the border-left-style to anything but solid, hidden, or none it seems to work in FF, NS and IE, though I don't think it is a very good fix. I have only tested Windows so far. So here is the fix: border-left: 200px dotted transparent; If there is a better fix I would love to hear it.
