They're probably just blank while he works on the site.

Yeah all set to blank(#)

Also would look much better imo if the page was set in the middle of the screen.
Otherwise looks good, FireFox is fine.

written or edited with front page by any chance?

I.e
</font>        </div>

Firefox ignores "nbsp"

from what I have heard, Firefox works to the WWW HTML standards whereas IE doesn't. As most people use IE most websites are designed to work best with it although they don't conform 100% to the standards, so really Firefox is in the right but as it is still a minority websites are still going to be made to fit IE better.

If you can get the site to validate (http://validator.w3.org/) then it'll appear the same.

BenWall · Oct 16, 2006

This page is not Valid (no Doctype found)!

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.
Error Line 1 column 0: no document type declaration; implying "<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>".<html> The checked page did not contain a document type ("DOCTYPE") declaration. The Validator has tried to validate with a fallback DTD, but this is quite likely to be incorrect and will generate a large number of incorrect error messages. It is highly recommended that you insert the proper DOCTYPE declaration in your document -- instructions for doing this are given above -- and it is necessary to have this declaration before the page can be declared to be valid.

What does this mean? can it fix the error?

We split browsers at work for this reason alone. While we're developing the website, most of us use IE, yet I stick with Firefox. I just like the no-nonsence approach to Firefox, rather than the bloatware IE.

Your page worked fine for me in Firefox, btw...

The majority dont have your screen thou, but I am going to center the page and that should sort out that issue.
