This code works fine in my html editor's browser, it works fine in IE, but like usual FireFox wants to be difficult. Does anyone see anything glaring that would make it not work? I don't know if this is the right forum because of the embeded code but that code works fine in both browsers, it's the javascript that isn't working in FireFox...

I've moved the thread over to the proper forum for you. Javascript problems fall under Client-side Scripting.
