I've been re-learning HTML by visiting http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp and CSS also from the same website. I've made a HTML application which is just a shell until I learn some XML/JAVASCRIPT to make my HTML app actually do something then just display text.

Everything looks good IE but in FF there's no formatting at all. I think it's because it can't read the CSS file. Am I retarded or is there something special about FF I need to code for?

What I like to do is recreate an Oracle Forms app that's 15 years old and update it so functionally it's the same but visually updated for web.

You want to post an example? FF can read CSS files just fine.

This is what I put in all my html files to reference my external CSS file.

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="H:\IMC related info\NIDA\Discovery_HTML/DiscoveryCSS.css" />
</head>

You have both forward slashes and back slashes in your URI. Also your URI isn't legal. Try something like file:///H:/IMC%20related%20info/NIDA/Discovery_HTML/DiscoveryCSS.css
