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 checked and both the Apple server and my (Apache) server are indicating a Content-Type of text/html for the example.html file (which, however, has an XHTML DOCTYPE), and text/xml for the four .xml files (that get fetched via the XMLHttpRequest object). I also checked that the downloaded files are identical to those sent dynamically by the Apple server. The markup in the files is "less than perfect" (e.g.., example.html has <html> rather than </html> at the bottom), but when I tried fixing up such problems to the point where the W3C validator was happy, the Firefox-specific "disappearing gutter" problem persisted. What might be causing that problem for Firefox?
