At http://62.232.41.218/smsclient/ there are two fields username and password to
use, when viewing with Firefox you see three fields.  within the site My admin
area for SMS text services the text is overlaped and text boxes are shown
without scroll bars. I cant give you access into the site as it is my admin area
to a financial area.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. simply go to http://62.232.41.218/smsclient/ using IE
2. then go to http://62.232.41.218/smsclient/ using Firefox
3.

Actual Results:  
when using firefox you will see the third box

Expected Results:  
should only show the two text fields

The site uses ASP the people running the site are www.operatelecom.com they have
their own people running the site.  Love the work you are doing, keep it up i
have to use IE for my admin work as i simply cant use Firefox as i am unable to
see the messages i am sending out. PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM then i can dump IE in
the **** where it belongs.

why should it show only two fields? the third is just readonly, not hidden... i
wonder why IE doesn't show it...
This seems to be a bug in IE, but if you want it to look similar in mozilla (and
any standardscomplient browser), just specify STYLE="border: none;
background-color: transparent;" in the box you want to "hide" (the textbox named
tbxStatus). 

This will hide the borders around the box, and make the background of the box
transparent and rendering it like you seem to want. 
first sign of trouble:

<meta name="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 7.0">
		<meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" Content="C#">
		<meta name="vs_defaultClientScript" content="JavaScript">
		<meta name="vs_targetSchema"
content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">

In Moz, the source shows for the extra input field:
<input name="tbxStatus" type="text" readonly="readonly" id="tbxStatus"
style="Z-INDEX: 130; LEFT: 320px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 120px" />

in IE it shows:
<input name="tbxStatus" type="text" readonly="readonly" id="tbxStatus"
style="color:Red;border-width:0px;width:352px;Z-INDEX: 130; LEFT: 320px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 120px" />

So slightly different source coding. 

Furthermore, closing tag is XML style "/>" while document type is 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >

Furthermore the attribute readonly doesn't have a value, so 
   readonly="readonly" 
is wrong.

are you the owner of the site?
