RE: [WSG] firefox 1.5 is official
The rendering you're seeing is because the body of the page has zero height
(a quirks mode behaviour, I suspect). Firefox isn't ignoring the second
center at all.
Simply typing this into the address bar fixes your layout:
javascript:alert(document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].style.height='100%
');
Set the height property of the body to 100% in your CSS to get the desired
rendering. Or as I mentioned previously, make your page valid HTML instead
of just a couple of disembodied tags.

Zach, You might try making that page valid HTML, so that Firefox obeys CSS standards instead of lapsing into quirks mode. -- Kevin Yank Technical Director SitePoint Pty.

RE: [WSG] starting ordered lists from a number other than 1
Ah, if only browsers had seen fit to support markers as defined in CSS 2.0... This is a sticky one. I have to admit I'd probably go for something like this: 40 text info in here ... You lose the semantics of an ordered list, but you get to be valid Strict and you don't have to include the numbers in your list item contents. If this isn't acceptable, I'd use your second proposed solution, but try to choose better tags for your number and list item content (e.g., a tag for the number, and aragraphs for the content). -- Kevin Yank Technical Director SitePoint Pty.
