The page explicitly sets a huge negative left margin and a positive top margin
on that positioned <div>... If I remove them, it renders perfectly.  Sounds like
they're working around an IE bug or something and breaking Mozilla in the process...

In general, layout bugs don't belong in the parser component, by the way.

Yikes!
Thanks for the tip, next time I'll send the rendering bugs to the layout group ;)
I thought the engine was parsing the html wrong and sending it to the layout
engine, but k.

What I notice on cnet.com is that some of the navigation links on the top of the
page are not coorectly situated inside their boxes. Similar errors in rendering
are seen at http://domains.aplus.net/

I am using FF 1.0PR1
