Here's a link to the page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
That DOCTYPE triggers Quirks mode. *Never* use a DOCTYPE that
triggers quirks mode ... use Strict:

This did not solve the issue.

Perhaps not, but it did reveal that you were be relying on the
non-standard, undefined, quirky behaviour of quirks mode to get the
page to render as intended, because that page doesn't in FF.
You should always work with a DOCTYPE that triggers standards mode and
then attempt to solve the problem properly. Luckily, the solution you
already found in index3.html will in fact work in standards mode; just
fix up the DOCTYPE.
Hello,
I've never heard of this Quirks mode. Do you have any favorite source
on the topic that I can read? I am really interested in making my
pages/code proper.
Thanks for the help,
Roger
