One paragraph in the page noted above begins with a drop cap styled by using :first-letter. Although the drop cap displays correctly in IE6 and SeaMonkey 1.1, the first letter of the paragraph lacks any styling in the latest trunk nightlies of SeaMonkey and Firefox, thought the drop cap is printed as expected in both.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the page noted in the URL.
2.Look at the third paragraph, beginning "Technology is the portal through...".
3.Print the first page of the document.
Actual Results:
The T in "Technology" is not styled as displayed in the browser. The T is styled on the printed page.
Expected Results:
The T in "Technology" should be styled as a drop cap as displayed in the browser.
I have another version of the page at http://www.nd.edu/~fboze/ital/sept2007/katz.html . This is without the navigation bars, etc., that get added by the CMS. In this page, :first-letter is not ignored, so the drop cap displays as expected in the browser. I thought this might give a clue as to what the problem might be.

The problem seems to involve <link rel="stylesheet"> appearing in the <body> rather than the <head>. Maybe that's triggering bug 8253?

I'm testing on Mac.
<link> is only allowed in <head> according to the HTML4 spec. That doesn't excuse Firefox's inconsistent behavior, of course.
