Hi,

I'm enjoying following your 'How to Make a Website' tutorial, but I've hit a snag in the 'Style New pages' chapter and can't spot where I've gone wrong.

When I apply CSS to the .profile-photo, the image moves to the top right corner of the browser window, alongside the header. All of the other .profile-photo CSS seems to transfer correctly, and if I comment out display: block; the image displays above the <p> text, but aligned left.

I haven't used this discussion feature before, please let me know what other information you need in able to help me find where I've gone wrong!

Many thanks,

Tim

A bit of reading around in the forum has pointed me to the Teachers Notes section, which answers my query:

"There's a bug in the CSS for this video that causes the profile picture to display incorrectly in Firefox. In order to correct the issue, the clear property with the value both needs to be applied to the .profile-photo class. Here's what the corrected code looks like:

.profile-photo {
  clear: both;
  display: block;
  max-width: 150px;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

Thanks to anyone who has shed light on this!

you need to get rid of clear

should be 

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  max-width: 150px;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
  border-radius: 100%;
-moz-border-radius: 100%;
}

Hi Elijah

Thanks for your post.

The CSS line clear: both; is the workaround posted by treehouse tutors to resolve the issue - adding this into my css allowed my image to display as I intended in Firefox.

I notice you've added the line -moz-border-radius: 100%; which presumably has the same effect? Forgive my ignorance but I'm keen to learn - what exactly is the issue with Firefox and how does this line solve it? Are there other Mozilla display issues I should be aware of when writing css?

No problems Tim Hyson I'm still learning myself. I added the -moz-border-radius because I had seen you added border-radius. The older versions of FF needs the webkit as well as Opera Safaria and IE
