Firefox 2.0

Snowflake:

I don't have any problems with the quotes and I'm on FF2.0. I tried to look at your Web site to see if I found any coding issues (I do get the same unwrapped nav section), but am really curious how you got that page developed.

Did you do it yourself or someone else? If yourself, did you use some weird software to do it?

Your site appears to have been coded by someone extremely worried that their code will be plagiarized and so made it difficult to view code. First, right click is disabled and your HTML was first translated into unicode character codes and then uses javascript to decode it back into usable HTML.

This first has the effect of rendering your page completely unviewable to anybody with javascript disabled. It also makes any code tweaking difficult.

Just to demonstrate, if you do a view source on your home page, this is how all the code and text is represented:

%3C%53%43%52%49%50%54%20%4C%41%4E%47%55%41%47%45%3 D%22...

But I did translate it back to see the code that renders and there are some oddities.

First, you have this little bit of code:

<style Media="Print" type="text/css">
body {display:none}
</style>

Essentially, what this does is prevents anybody from printing a page from your site. If they try, all they get is a header and a blank page. Not sure what reason there would be for doing that.

Then there's this:

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">

Whoever did this used MS Front Page, one of the most godawful WYSIWIG HTML generators on god's green earth. If you're using it, I strongly recommend finding one of the many alternatives. However, on its own by default even FrontPage does not do the encoding I'm seeing here.

I'm not immediately seeing why the navigation links wrap in IE but not Firefox, but one thing to note is that a "feature" of IE has always been that it is somewhat forgiving of incorrect code that then breaks when put through a different browser that tries to enforce standards.
