Background not working

  • https://www.sketchygrid.com
    my blue background works in IE but does not in firefox. It is associated with my mainpage div. Its very frustrating I’ve been trying to get it to work for almost a week. But for some reason firefox just doesn’t read it. Any help would be appreciated.

    .mainpage {
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
	width: 1025px;
	background-color: #678398;
	border-left: 1px solid #000;
	border-right: 1px solid #000;
	border-color: #000;
	padding-left: 10px;
	padding-right: 10px;
	color: #FFC;
	background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
    <?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="container">
       <div class="mainpage">

		<div class="content">

<div class="topcont3"><h5>Blog</h5></div>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="topcont">

<h2 class="storytitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

</div>

<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<div class="meta"><?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_tags(__('Tags: '), ', ', ' — '); ?> <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php the_date('','<em>','</em>'); ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></div>

		<div class="storycontent"><?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?></div>

<div class="feedback"><?php wp_link_pages(); ?><?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?></div>

<?php comments_template(); ?>

</div>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<h3><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></h3>

<?php endif; ?>

<div class="topcont">
<?php posts_nav_link(' — ', __('&laquo; Newer Posts'), __('Older Posts &raquo;')); ?>
</div>

<br />

</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Firefox
    Internet Explorer

    This is what i’m seeing

    hmm, thats not what Im seeing.

    mines like the ff one– in ff3.5 and ie8

    you may want to rethink your strategy for doing whatever youre doing.

    do you have any idea why it might be doing that? or better yet how to fix it. I want the ie one.

    You are using:

    body {style.css (regel 66)
-x-system-font:none;
background-color:#F0EEDB;

    That dictates the background color in my FF 3.0.11 Don’t know why it is blue in IE7.
    Change to #8CA1B1

    i upgraded to ie 8 and it still has the blue box.
    also i’m not quite sure whats up with the above post. My background is link to the body, but why would that effect me putting the blue box over top as all of my other boxes work, such as posts and archives.

    Well FF now shows the blue background so everything is solved?
