Firefox fixed? :-) »

Thanks for the Firefox notes…

I appreciate all the emails and comments about the Firefox browser guys. I’ve just installed it and, oh brother, does Firefox turn my Blog into a dog’s dinner! It looks awful!

I’ll try to fix it, but I’m not familiar with Firefox, so if anyone has any troubleshooting tips, I’d love to hear them.

By the way, if you want to post a blog comment you’ll have to register… and then I’ll have to approve it. Sorry for the inconvenience but there’s no way I’m allowing spam comments (or worse) to appear on this blog. It’s supposed to be fun and lighthearted. :-)

    I did a syntax check and found the following error message:
    line:117: Value of attribute “cols” for element “” must be a number.

    Taht line reads:

    the “cols=100%” might be the reason why the page doesn’t display correctly in your FF.

    BTW, in my 1.5.0.2 version of FF the display is ok.
