CSS - Mozilla bug? box-shadow:inset not working properly

Basically the below code should simply be a white page with a shadow around the edge. This works fine in Chrome but I can't seem to get it to work in Firefox!

<html>
<head>
<style type=text/css>
body {
background:#ffffff;
font-family:arial;
margin:auto;
box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 100px #333333;
-moz-box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 100px #333333;
-webkit-box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 100px #333333;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

View the page here:

Look at it in Chrome then Firefox, and tell me if you see a difference : )

Cheers

EDIT: So the post below explained how to fix the above code, a CSS reset worked and also i learned about quirk mode and doctypes :)

However the CSS page i am working on is still suffering from this bug no matter what reset i use. I am not currently using a Doctype as i am not sure what i should put, or whether it would fix the bug.

Here is the complete site:

http://middle.dyndns-server.com/results.html

And the stylesheet:

body {
background:url('bg.png');
font-family:arial;
margin:auto;
box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 100px #333333;
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 100px #333333;
-webkit-box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 100px #333333;
}

#footer {
padding-bottom:10px;
margin-top:30px;
}

#page {
width:960px;
height:auto;

background-color:#ffffff;
#background:url('bg2.png');

/*Space*/
padding-top:0px;
padding-bottom:0px;
padding-left:0px;
padding-right:0px;
margin-top:-10px;
margin-bottom:0px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;

/*Shadow*/
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 100px 0px #999999,inset 0 0 10px #000000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 100px 0px #999999,inset 0 0 10px #000000;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 100px 0px #999999,inset 0 0 10px #000000;

}

a:visited {
text-decoration:none;
}

a:active {
text-decoration:none;

}

a:hover {

So the answer marked as correct CSS - Mozilla bug? box-shadow:inset not working properly does not work for me. Why? Because the example includes no content. When you style the <body> and <html> elements with height: 100% it creates a strange bug where the 100% is technically registering as 100% of the viewport rather than 100% of the window height.

This is a great example of how to do this properly: http://www.dave-woods.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/full-height-updated.html. Styling the body and html elements at height: 100% is correct, however, your inner-shadow needs to be attached to another element (can't be body or html) and then min-height: 100% as well as box-shadow: 0 0 100px #000 attached to the shim, e.g.

html, body { height: 100% }
#styled-div { 
   min-height: 100%;
   box-shadow: 0 0 100px #000;
}

Firefox shows you the right thing because right now body has no height. So you have to define the height of your body.

Write this in your CSS: 

html, body {
    height: 100%
}

Add this:

html, body {
    height: 100%
}

http://jsbin.com/oyuzug

There is nothing in body, so it has no height.

The only reason it worked without this in Chrome is because you did not include a doctype as the very first line to enable Standards Mode.

Test these in Chrome:

Your original code: http://jsbin.com/urimah

Your original code with doctype: http://jsbin.com/urimah/2

Conclusion: Always include a doctype as the very first line to avoid Quirks Mode and the inconsistencies it brings between different browsers.
