    I'm having a problem with one page on a website I'm currently working on.

    The page displays perfectly in IE and Opera but firefox completely mangles it :mad:

    Any suggestions would really be appreciated. It's taken 3 months to get to this stage, perhaps I was a little ambitious aiming for a table-free design.

    Thanks

    There's always a fix for your layout :). Take a look at the image attached. The clue to the cause of the problem is circled. It appears the end of a comment is appearing on the page. Taking a look at your source, I can see that the comment is on line 1093: 
    <!--Footer bar options below as <li> items-->
    Firefox seems to be counting <li> as an actual list item, so changing that line to: 
    <!--Footer bar options below as li items -->
    fixes that problem, but this leads to another problem.

    Line 1024 is as follows: 
    <!--END FILLER
    An unclosed comment. Changing this line to: 
    <!--END FILLER -->
    fixes that problem and makes the layout usable in Firefox.

    Good luck with the rest of the project.

    Serbian, you're a star. Well spotted, making those 2 changes completely fixed the css part of the page. I think I'd been looking at that page for so long I was starting to suffer from tag blindness.

    Now all I have to do is work out why the ASP (thats supposed to make those 2 columns contain the same number of answers) isn't working properly.

    The filler is only supposed to appear if there's an odd number of answer e.g. 11 answers would be 6 answers in the left column, 5 answers and a filler in the right column.

    Thanks again Serbian, much appreciated.
