I don't know of any workarounds (that are legitimate). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load web page 2. Click the link. 3. Examine the DOM afterward. (I've used FireBug and HTML Validator extensions and they show identical source) Actual Results: <img src="images/header_main.png"> Expected Results: <img src="images/header_main.png"/>
that page is text/html, and thus, not XHTML.

It has a valid XHTML DOCTYPE... shouldn't javascript render all elements as valid XHTML?

See bug 199165 for why Firefox detects XHTMLness based on mime type rather than sniffing.
