By bad display, I mean that I expect to see: * 8am to 5pm 650-456-7890 * 8am to 5pm 650-456-7890 and instead see * 8am to 5pm * 8am to 5pm 650-456-7890 I did run a test with the </LI> to close the line, but that didn't get included in my cut-and-paste. Your "works on Seamonkey" made me realize that I hadn't done a check with different browsers. And that has pointed me in the right direction as I see the error in Firefox 3.6.12 but not in IE 8.0.6001.18702. So, I guess I need to change my question to finding out how to submit to Firefox as a potential bug. Paul
