I regret to advise that I've heard nothing from Mozilla.

You have still not advised what you meant by Firefox not being a
'normal' browser.

Perhaps someone in these groups who is knowledgeable in these matters
could comment as to why your web site appears correctly when viewed
with IE7 but has the 'error' when viewed with Firefox.

I do hope so.

Dave

More than likely something in the html code is triggering IE's Quirks
mode where it ignores and continues to operate on errors unlike many
more advanced browsers. Believe FireFox, not IE if you're interested in
the maximum number of browsers being able to read the code. IE can
accept some pretty sloppy stuff; whether that's good or bad is debatable
and has strong camps on both sides. The biggest downside if things that
work only in IE because of the sloppy coding in the web pages. FF has a
Quirks mode too but it's not as easy to turn on. For more detail, look
it up on google or your fav search engine.

Thank you for your response, Twayne.

Can you actually see the error to which I referred? Did you look?

Thanks for the tip about Quirks - I'll take a look!

Enjoy your day.

Dave
