In CSS, style values should never be quoted like this.  The only time you=20
should use quotes is if you have a font name that has more than one word=20
and there are spaces between words as for example in:

p {
font: normal 12px/1.4em Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
}

Your code above will probably break in every browser that supports CSS and=
=20
I'm surprised it did work in IE for you because it has good CSS error=20
handling usually.  One sure thing is that quoting all the CSS values like=20
that is a syntax error according to the CSS specs.  If your CSS broke in IE=
=20
without those quotes you must have had another error in the code somewhere=
=20
else.

HTH!
