<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>It works on IE because they correct for sloppy code. Then when you have a web browser that doesn't correct - does exactly what the code says to do - it looks like it's broken, when in fact it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do.</div>
