The only way I can enable a style in Firefox is to use In Line Styles. In all major browsers (except Firefox), the following HTML enables a DIV ID to render the web page div content according to CSS in an external style sheet. 

<div id="myExternalStyle">

Why does the above HTML succeed in all major browsers except Firefox?

In the "path to" the external style sheets, are you using \ rather than /?

The "slash" / is needed rather than the "back-slash" \.
