I just broke Mozilla

I decided I was going adjust the template I was using to make it a little wider. I found that the space it allowed me was far too small to use graphics within.
To adjust the template I needed to delve into it's code. The code is XML which is similar to HTML but enough different to cause me problems. I had learned HTML code from scratch back in 1995 but things have changed a lot since then. It took me a while to figure out how to adjust the width correctly. Once I did that I found out that the parchment background did not cover the new expanded width so I needed to set the parchment background to repeat so it would cover the space. Once I did all this I was feeling very proud of myself...that is until I opened Mozilla Firefox. It now looks like this on Mozilla.

awww!!! that's so sad!! but very funny!! :D

deb had simillar troubles at wordpress. everything looked great in firefox, but there were weird lines of code that actually showed up on screen in IE. silly browsers.

anyhow, good luck on the repairs (or is this project dead in the water)?
