Doesn't work in FF

Hi,

Can anyone here please tell me why my site doesn't work in Firefox. It seems
fine in IE7. The menu changes and wording is spaced differently.

Many thanks.

The answer would be: "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"

You are .. um .. designing for IE. The stuff that Office products put in
HTML is not designed for the World Wide Web, only for other Microsoft
products.

Dr. Shagnasty explains with compassion and diplomacy that the patient
has died. (In other words, Paul needs to start over.)

An exerpt from the autopsy report (re-formatted for the inquest):

Funeral to be held at One Microsoft Way, Redmond WA, USA, where, just
possibly, arrests will be made on charges of criminal negligence. :-)

Hi Paul (great name),

What are you using to produce your site? The code is a mix of css and
bloody 'orrible <font> tags and tables. Also your using Pt for font
sizes, this is for print. Use PX or pref %. Firefox is just getting
confused with your terrible coding. Ditch what ever piece of software
your using and hand code to start of with.
Aim for a tableless layout, yours wouldnt be too hard to do with css.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but I would scrap your site and start again.

Time to repeat? The four worst HTML 'editors' are:

4. Microsoft FrontPage (Expression?)
3. Microsoft Word
2. Microsoft Excel
1. Microsoft Publisher

Judge: "Jury, how find you?"
Foreman: "Guilty on all counts, your honor."
Judge: "Thank you. Sentencing will take place May 23rd.
The jury is dismissed. Bailiff, please remand the
defendant to the pokey."
