I am trying to use the firebug for looking at a layout in a select box. On the right column of the firebug if I select option 1 from the select table, I can see in the computed column,

font-family verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif font-size 13px font-weight 400

However, when I change the selection to the 2nd or 3rd selection, suddenly the whole page looses its layout, and in the computed column of firebug, there are some changes with these formats :

font-family serif font-size 16px font-weight 400

The strange thing is that I already delete all the css file related to this layout, but I can not udnerstand where it gets these different font everytime I change the selection of the select table. Any suggestion?

Thank you for any kindness response

Reset to default

Hmm, did you use CSS reset? Could it be that you're running into browser defaults?

yes, I am also thinking that the serif 16 px 400 is default layout of firefox, but I do not know how to solve this. the problem occurs only in firefox, and not in IE nor Chrome. I did not use CSS reset, I just deleted all .css files I have.
In that case I strongly recommend checking this thread: stackoverflow.com/questions/167531/…
Thanks, but I tried different reset css and I still find out that the problem is that firefox always 'overwrite' my default layout (with serif 16 px) everytime I change my selection in select table. How can I avoid the firefox default layout to load?
@heike: from my own experience, that's either a typo in your class name or a missing comma in the CSS rule which causes it to be skipped. Do your intended rules show up at all in the "Style" tab?
