Having trouble with my CSS. Won't display properly in Firefox. Tried getting it validated, but was confused by the w3c site. Help!

This is my CSS file contents:

body
{margin: 0;
background-image: url(back.gif)}
td
{vertical-align: top;
font-family: arial}
.main
{border-left: solid;
border-right: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #000000}
.navback
{background-color: #DDDDDD}
.navbacka
{background-color: #DDDDDD}
.navtopa
{border-top: solid;
{border-left: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-top-color: #FFFFFF;
border-left-color: #660000;
background-color: #660000;
vertical-align: bottom}
.navtopb
{border-top: solid;
{border-left: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #660000;
vertical-align: bottom}
.navbottom
{border-top: solid;
{border-bottom: solid;
{border-left: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #990000}
.navdivider
{border-top: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF}
.content
{background-color: #FFFFFF}
a:link
{color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold}
a:active
{color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold}
a:visited
{color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold}
a:hover
{color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold}

.navbottom 
 {border-top: solid; 
 {border-bottom: solid; 
 {border-left: solid; 
 border-width: 1px; 
 border-color: #FFFFFF; 
 background-color: #990000}

So you don't see anything wrong with that? Perhaps some open brackets that shouldn't be there? And it's not the only case.

Validation is best done by first looking at the code and making sure it's sensible. Try organizing your code like so:

.navbottom {
    border-top: solid; 
    border-bottom: solid; 
    border-left: solid; 
    border-width: 1px; 
    border-color: #fff; 
    background-color: #900;
    }

It's always the little things that slip us up.

Good practice coding saves hair follicles.
