This problem has plagued me for a long time... I cannot seem to fix it. At first it happened everytime anyone visted the site using Mozilla but I managed to at least get the FIRST page to render correctly by placing an invisible gif as a background image to any "spot" that didnt render properly. What happens is certain "areas" of the web page dont show at all... a blank blob of blank space appears in its stead. You may not experience it immediately (after I applied the background gif fix) but after clicking through a couple pages you will certainly start to see it... and when you do it doesnt go away, every subsequent page will render wrong (try to stay within one domain, incidently... our web pages traverse 3). One interesting tidbit: if you background the browser in Windows and bring it to the forefront again the problem dissapears on that page... I do not think the problem exists in Linux but Im not positive... I dont remember seeing it on my Slack box at home...
Michael, I took one of your pages: http://www.xo.com/investors/ as example. The HTML markup starting at line 953 is wrong: <form> is not allowed within <tr> and <td> is not allowed within <form> Can you change them first? Consider the use of an on-line validator. You may find one at: http://validator.w3.org/check If after that it still doesn't work, just ring the bell.

Michael, the problem with this page was that missing <td> on line 954, well missing, it was on line 956, anyway. On this line was an <input> element. And that should not be like this <tr><input> but something like this: <tr><td><input> Any other problems, Just let me know, HJ
