Can someone help me figure out why my site looks so screwed up in Mozilla. The only problems validator picks up are the passing of variables in the url. http://catalyze.mine.nu |

The problem you're having deals with the fact that lots of characters have special meanings in HTML markup. To get around this, there are special "entities". For instance, " is a quote written in a syntax that your browser will dsplay as a quotation mark, but won't parse as significant to the HTML. Now it's seeing:
In that URL and thinking you're trying to escape something out. 
I would try replacing all of the ampersands with & |

Go back to just using the amphersand the way you were before. I probably outsmarted myself on that one. Now, you say your variables aren't getting initialized? Are you trying to use just immediately use $cPage, or are you accessing $_REQUEST["cPage"]? |

Im positive it's your divs... Mozilla and DIVS never agreed with (or any other browser) Use tables... never use divs (unless needed for some ad or w/e) http://termix-zero.ath.cx/termix/subdomain/test/images/sd.html just need to make your top image size of the down part a bit bigger ;D pure tables  |

im not a big fan of tables im fairly sure that mozilla follows the w3c standard and that divs are part of that standard |

i found the solution apparently in the standard when you float a div it is taken out of the normal flow, so when i floated those divs the conataining block didnt expand with them i found there is a hack to get around this (im not the only one with this problem) it is to add
above and below the element and that forces it to the full height |
