Title: Theme development: double border not shown! Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Theme development: double border not shown! * Resolved [Eagle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eagle/) * (@eagle) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-development-double-border-not-shown/) * Hi, * I’m developing a theme called Firefox V2. The theme itself is working great so far, but during development, I’ve discovered a strange bug: * The borders of some boxes are doubled and this looks great – except on one page and till now, I couldn’t find any solution for this problem. And the weird thing about this is that IE shows the borders correctly (although not rounded as in Firefox), but Firefox doesn’t – most of the time it’s the other way round.. * Theme’s CSS-file can be found here: [http://www.troublezone.net/wp-content/themes/Firefox-V2/style.css](http://www.troublezone.net/wp-content/themes/Firefox-V2/style.css) * A page with an example of the wrong border is the following: [http://www.troublezone.net/2006/07/12/firefox-v2-released/](http://www.troublezone.net/2006/07/12/firefox-v2-released/)( at the bottom, just below the “Submit Comment”-button. * Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙂 * Regards, Martin.. 😀 Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * [yosemite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosemite/) * (@yosemite) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-development-double-border-not-shown/#post-419918) * You need to try starting off with valid css. I recommend designing with/for Firefox first, then when everything is finished, tweak for IE. * Cut and paste your css into: [http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/](http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/) to get started? * Thread Starter [Eagle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eagle/) * (@eagle) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-development-double-border-not-shown/#post-420133) * The thing is that the CSS is valid, except the -moz-* things of course (bu7t FF understands them).. * So, while developing, I also kept the css-rules in mind to comply with the validator.. * The problem I can’t seem to fix is that I’m using the same border-attributes as in other CSS-classes, but only on such a page as given above the bottom-border doesn’t show up. – That’s why I came here: I need help on fixing this! 🙂 * [yosemite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosemite/) * (@yosemite) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-development-double-border-not-shown/#post-420140) * Fix your css.

Because posts like your last one won’t help! * Thread Starter [Eagle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eagle/) * (@eagle) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-development-double-border-not-shown/#post-420545) * Seems to be fixed in newer versions of Firefox or WordPress (can’t find out which one).. 😀 Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘Theme development: double border not shown!’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [border](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/border/) * [double](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/double/) * [doubled](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/doubled/) * [truncated](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/truncated/) * [v2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/v2/) * 5 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Eagle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eagle/) * Last activity: [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-development-double-border-not-shown/#post-420545) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
