I am having a small issue as I am patching (literally since I'm unable to rebuild the whole thing) a site. The problem I am having is with the view of a page in Firefox. The listing by manufacturer should be displayed in a grid of 3x3 with the navigation on the bottom centered. But in Firefox the whole thing just lists underneath each item. On the other hand it works in Safari and Win/IE. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,
Not entirely certain how come it is working in Safari but not Firefox but I did notice that all of the boxes that have content in are set as IDs instead of classes. Remember that you can only have one item on a page with an ID instead of a class. Classes on the other hand allow you to have as many items on the same page with the same name and no clashing will occur.
Hopefully this will help some.
Best wishes,
Mark
A good starting point would be to fix most of these problems. There are a lot of tags that have not been closed properly, par for the course when using the tag soup that is Table based design.
IE is often much more generous when it comes to HTML wellformedness and I guess Safari is being forgiving as well. Quite rightly Firefix is not letting you get away with it ;-)

You can't feed a dog dirt and expect it to behave itself. Or a FOX for that matter!
I apologise. I don't mean to sound rude here...But your code is a mess. 171 Errors in W3C validation!! Get and clean up your code and I think you'll find Firefox will behave like a mans best friend...

Yes, I am quite aware of this. And needless to say it's NOT my code, I am only doing the patchwork. This makes things quite difficult and I am trying slowly to fix all these errors. But at this point I am not aiming for validation, as that is an undertaking too long and too costly for such a project. Thats the trouble when one hires three people to do a job and one to clean it up. Well, we'll see. Thanks for the input and I'll keep you guys up to date with this 'critter'.
