Actually, if you used a normal browser, you would see that there is
no
error
I feel that my reputation is safe,
You are a troll, plain and simple.
I feel that our customers can easily distinguish between a competent
professional (Paul and I) and a complete idiot troll (you)

So - I wonder where in the world you are today Mr Komar (your message
timed
at 0916 GMT - somewhat earlier in Canada?)

Perhaps, as a competent professional, you can explain why the error
was/is
noticed when using Firefox 3.0.4. I am uncertain why you said "if you
used
a normal browser" - surely many folk now use Firefox, don't they? Is
it not
a *normal* browser?

I appreciate that Mozilla *might* be at fault, so have submitted an
error
report accordingly [Successfully Transmitted Report RMO12289055928792]
Should there be an error at their end, I'm sure they will correct it.
I'll
let you know. I'm a little surprised though, that "as a competent
professional", you had not checked your own web site using Firefox.

You have further confused me. How would I ever come into contact with
your
customers (so that they may have to distinguish between us?)
I *was* going to contact one of them, but you don't seem to have any!

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.

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
