This May Have Been Asked Before

When I look at my website on Firefox, I can't see the backrgound. And the banner goes to some place it shouldn't be.

Anyone know what's up with that?

Note that on Internet Explorer it looks just fine. Only firefox messes it up.

Replace all those individual body tags with this:

<body BGCOLOR="#0E577A" text="white" link="green" vlink="gold" alink="red">

I've also added the # to the hexcode for the background colour. There should only be one body tag, and # should be in front of hex colour codes.

You have multiple BODY tags, which isn't allowed in HTML to begin with. Combine them into one like this:

<body bgcolor="#0e577a" text="#ffffff" link="#00cc00" vlink="gold" alink="#cc0000">

If you use a HTML "What you see is what you get" design program for your pages, I'd get a refund.

That fixed the problem on the main page and the comic archives. But on all my other pages the problem is still there. Is there something else in the code I missed to apply it to all the site pages?

And STrRedwolf, I don't really know what you meant at that last part. Do you mean my html editing program?

You still have multiple body tags

<body BGCOLOR="0E577A">
<body text="white">
<body link="green">
<body vlink="gold">
<body alink="red">

Replace them with the code that War and STrRedWolf gave you.

He means that if your html editing program showed you a preview of your page that was "working" with the multiple <BODY> tags, then that program isn't very good at recognizing proper html coding.

Even worse would be if it created those multiple body tags.
