Mozilla (and IE 6) renders the document *correctly* when you use XHTML transitional. If it doesn't render as you intended, you have 'bugs' in your CSS. > The validator output is listed below. Note the insertion of > the extra body tags that appear to cause the thing to blow up. That's because the meta element ends with a /, which should only be used in XHTML/XML. The validator sees this as character data, which isn't allowed in 'head'. In therefor (correctly!) assumes it has reached the end of the 'head' element (and opened the 'body' element) (as the 'head' and 'body' tags (as opposed to the 'head' and 'body' elements') are optional in HTML). The solution is the remove the / from the 'meta' element. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer
