I don't see any jumping or spacing inconsistencies in the left nav bar in either IE6 or FF on WinXP. >In firefox, the page layout just doesn't work right at all.

It's never going to work because you just can't hack a good browser to act wrong like IE does. IE's wrongness is much too mysterious for that. ;-) So, instead, use proper CSS that gets your page looking right in every other browser than IE, and then tweak or hack for IE if you need to. You'll have much better success this way. >the map I want to locate next to the ISO logo, but for now I am >leaving it at the bottom because I just don't know how come it is over >the RFQ form in firefox... > The cause of this is not immediately apparent, but using the DOM Inspector in Firefox I can see that the problem is that the div that holds the RFQ form is ignoring the form. The textarea in the form is not properly closed (per the validator) so I wonder if fixing this would help Firefox recognize the form and move the paragraph with the map image down accordingly.

This error that you mention doesn't appear to be, so why worry about it? Validation is a tool to help you debug your page -- it's not the end goal itself. There can be perfectly good reasons to knowingly fail validation. Get as close as you can, make sure your errors aren't hurting anything, then don't worry any more about it. Zoe -- Zoe M.
