That's because the first div has a "height:19" styling on it, which in this
rendering mode (quirks mode) means 19 pixels high.  So Mozilla only gives 19px
of space for it and you get overlap.

It works in IE because IE has a bug where it treats height as a minimum
suggestion instead of an absolute declaration.

I would suggest you write to the site and just ask them to take the height
declaration off.  Then it will work in both.

I should have said, Mozilla makes that DIV 19px high, the rest of the text
overflows out of it (per spec), but the next DIV starts at the bottom of the
19px DIV.  So that's why the text overlaps.
