Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 The browser incorrectly renders a definition list that is compatible with html 4.01 standards.
Bruce, please have a look at http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html about how to write bug reports that help in getting the bugs fixed quickly. The page doesn't validate: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mindspring.com%2F%7Ebrucec%2Fdx.htm Do you still see the problem after fixing the validation errors? This doesn't belong in the component Tabbed Browser.

The problem is that the definition list is inside a table cell. If you remove <TABLE><TR><TD> (and the preceding <center>) and </TD></TR></TABLE> near the end it should be ok.
The table cell is not the problem. The erroneous open <FONT> is. The residual style handling messes up the </dd> inferring.
