Philip:
Thanks for reply. 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.
