It looks ok to me, but I don't have ie to compare it against and you're using a
very old version of mozilla.
However, this is really in the wrong place, moving to somewhere else (if I can
figure out where).

I just downloaded the mozilla 1.7 and tested it again. It still had the same 
problems as in mozilla 1.6. All users using mozilla have the same problems but 
not in IE.

Please clearly explain what the difference is or attach a screenshot from ie.

The only difference I see on this page between MSIE 6.0sp1 and Mozilla 1.8b
trunk build 2005020306 on WinNT4 is under "Additional Information" that the
comboboxes are not all on one line (the last date combobox is a line below).

No response, no clear description of the problem, marking invalid, since there's
nothing we can do with this bug as things stand...

Hui Wang, please reopen the bug if you can provide a clear description of the
problem or a screenshot of the incorrect rendering (attach it to this bug using
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=280958&action=enter).

It works well on IE. But not Mozilla: The title, Award Search > Search All 
Fields (all tabs)& in Additional Info section (only tab 4), becomes 3 lines 
and it should one line; The green menu bar should starts from under Home.

Actually, rendering on multiple lines is correct.  The image that brings up the
calendar when you click on it has "display: block" set in the page's stylesheet,
whouch should cause it to appear on a line by itself.  IE doesn't handle
changing display types very well, so it's screwing this up.  Just set display to
"inline" on that image.

> The green menu bar should starts from under Home.

No, it should not.  The "green menu bar" is the background image on the <td>
that contains the <table class="headmark">.  This table has a background image
of its own set.  So the green menu bar image should only be painted outside the
border of the table (which is what's happening here).  I have no idea why IE
renders anything different.

Re-marking invalid, since the specific issues raised are not layout bugs.
