I'm not certain this is a layout issue, but I'll start out by asking here.
Apple has an AJAX example:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/XMLHttpRequestExample/example.html
which works fine when I try it via that URL with Firefox v1.5.0.4
(rv1.8.0.4) on my PC with Windows XP, as well as when I try it with IE 6.0
SP2 and Opera 8.54. When I downloaded the files (the example.html and four
.xml files) and set up the example on my server:
http://www.macridesweb.com/oltest/example.html
it continues to work fine with IE and Opera, but Firefox has a display
problem. First choose a Category in the top select box, which causes the
Items select box to expand, then choose an Item, which causes an image and
text to be displayed beneath that select box. There should be a "gutter"
between the image and the text, and there is initially and very briefly with
Firefox, but then the text jumps to the left and the gutter is obliterated
(yet persists nicely with IE and Opera).
I have checked the layout with DOM inspector and there is a table row
with three cells, the space between the left cell (with the image link)
and the right cell (with the text) is supposed to be created by a spacer
image in the middle cell <http://www.macridesweb.com/images/spacer.gif>
but that image is not on your server, it gives a 404.
That explains the difference you see between the Apple example and your
attempt to copy it.
