strangest thing i have ever… can you see why

If you visit the following [B][URL=”http://www.creativeimpressions.ie/mm”]url[/URL][/B] in FF and click the blue calculator image… what the f*ck is that about… why does the page collapse like that, it should try and open calc.php but instead it just messes the current page up.

The other two buttons work fine and the calculator button also works fine in IE6 but for some strange reason FF just does something a little crazy…

Has anyone ever seen this before OR does anyone know how to fix it

thanks in advance

@webgovernorMar 25.2008 — WTF? Yeah, it's a little odd.

I'm looking through "css/style.css" right now, I'll update if I find anything.

@webgovernorMar 25.2008 — Um, maybe decreasing the "buttons" div width, might be a good temporary fix, since that section just breaks. I think is may be adding a couple PX margin when that specific div (calc) is clicked (not sure why), thus pushing the "button" block down.

That's all I can think of, odd indeed!

[EDIT]

With all the "object" hacks ([IF IE] and [if ! IE]) an object tag could still be open, but the W3C Validator wouldn't likely catch it, because of the hacks. Could you write a valid Flash object tag, that happens to be cross browser? Or make two separate object tags and include them both in [IF] hacks? Just a suggestion.

    @sstalderMar 25.2008 — Add this to your CSS:
    <i>
    </i>div:focus { -moz-outline-offset: -1px; }


    See if that helps.

    @sitehatcheryMar 25.2008 — Try floating #portals to the right instead of to the left.

    Also try reducing #buttons to 479px.

    Tell me, does this happen when you have your cache turned off in Firefox? Often times when this sort of thing happens, it doesn't happen when the cache is turned off. Sorry can't now, installing a program that won't let me run a browser on my PC.

    To fix this, you might try placing <div style='clear:both;'></div> below your buttons.

    @CentauriMar 26.2008 — The outline adds to the width, causing an overflow condition on #main, which you have set to "auto" (hence the scrollbars). Changing the overflow setting on #main to "hidden" will resolve the issue.

    Success!
