Before trying to report it as a bug in Mozilla, you should run it through the W3C's relevant validators...just HTML, in this case (no CSS). I think you'll find that the page does not validate as valid HTML. Mozilla does do its best to try to render pages as best in can when they're not valid HTML, but, really, all bets are off. FWIW, Firefox only seems to overlap the "Position Available" and "Layton Links"...but the graphic in the bottom left was broken, didn't download or whatever. It looks like there's a character in the page that may be confusing regular Mozilla...the W3C's HTML validator complained about a character on line 97 that it couldn't handle as utf-8 or us-ascii (I tried both)...that's around about the part of the page that you were complaining about Mozilla's rendering. The page doesn't have a charset encoding, or a doctype, so its kind of broken by nature, but even falling back to reasonable defaults, its not validating. -- Jeff McAdams "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin Attachment:
