Hey all, I've been playing around with some of the stuff I learned and I wanted to see if I could mimic a website I had seen using the fixed background attachment. It looks exactly how I'd expect it to on Chrome & Firefox when I view the files that are stored locally on my machine, but when I view the files on my host they get a bit screwy. Any ideas why this is? Thanks.

Make sure normalize.css is in the same directory on your server as styles.css. Also make sure normalize.css has the same permissions as styles.css.

6,232 PointsYes, all I have are a couple of images located in an "img" folder, and a couple of css documents stored in the same directory as the index file.
Accessing the site from the host with any browser adds what I'm assuming is a small margin on the top and left, and accessing it in firefox causes the main navigation to be aligned left instead of center...
I was using normalize.css, and thought that might be the source of the issue, so I removed it with no change.
Here's where the site is hosted http://visitnvbc.com/sandbox and I'll warn you the page itself isn't that carefully designed. It was just a quick test I threw together to see if I could mimic the background effects on http://fiveironfrenzy.com/site/
