That was indeed the problem.  I had an HTML Doctype.  Problem is, the page 
won't come close to validating with any of the XHTML Doctypes, and many of the 
problems are out of my control.  This is my first Ruby on Rails app and the 
tool is generating most of the tags.  In reality, I have no idea whether any of 
this is even related to the problem I'm trying to solve.

I'd really appreciate it if any of you would make a couple of minutes to take a 
look and let me know.  The site is at http://www.emrec-beta1.com . 

There's a link at the bottom of the first page that takes you into the app. On 
the 'Patient Information' page, enter something in the 'Last name' field. No 
additional info is required to proceed.  Four clicks takes you to the 
'Medication allergies' page which is where the problem is.

Click in the 'Other Drug Allergies' checkbox. That brings up a form to enter 
stuff in.  When items are entered, the item is added to the database and a new 
line is rendered via Ajax in the div under the 'Allergy List'.  Each line has a 
button on it to remove that item from both the database and the page.  In IE 
it's ugly.  In FF it's worse ;-( .  If you go to the next page and add an item 
or two you'll see where I started.  I'm trying to change the links to buttons 
so that visitors using the Google Web Accelerator don't have it removing items 
as soon as they add them.

Any suggestions / pointers will be sincerely appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Bill
