No current browser renders it, Safari is getting close though.
As you can see by the screenshots, Firefox is much closer than IE:

bifta scroll down on that page, do you see anything? just out of interest.

the first link in that page just links to the same page but further down, and the second link links to somewhere else, so it seems, I will check the code later, just about to go out for a few.

EDIT: and my IE6 does not render it correctly, and get an error

Strangely, FF rendered it just fine but IE made a complete hash of it

So Firefox isn't fully standards compliant? (and the original question wasn't how well Firefox renders it compared to IE)

Curious the one on the left is IE and the one on the right is FF...

Like I just said, I'm not interested in how well it renders it compared to IE, I asked if Firefox was supposed to be fully standards compliant, is it or isn't it?

You know very well that Firefox isn't 100% standards compliant.
Anyway, Firefox is not as standards compliant as Safari and Opera but all 3 are light years ahead of IE.
I know which I'd rather develop for, IE wastes so much of my time in work it's unreal.

Actually I didn't know, hense the question. Thankyou for finally answering it though.

Fair enough.
Here's a handy site which has several tables of browser CSS compliance:

Next question.......why can't I click on/select a smilie or bring up the rep box using FF?

[bmxbandit]

you need to enable javascript, in options/web features

you might want to go to 'advanced' and uncheck the things you dont want webstes to be able to do, if you enable it.

have you allowed cable forum to show pop ups?

in FF go to tools > options > web features > block pop-ups and click allow, and enter cable forums web address.
