Hello,
My site prints out URLs in a table. In Chrome and IE8, the URLs look great. In Firefox 3.0.11, the URLs only display up until the second forward slash.
So for example, "nytimes.com/pages/world/americas/index.html" is just "nytimes.com/pages" in Firefox.
Any ideas why? The code is below.
Thanks in advance,
John - print "<td class='sitename'>".'<a href="http://'.$row['site'].'" class="links2">'.$row['site'].'</a>'."</td>";

is the source code different in FF? (different browser display is usually caused by HTML/CSS/JS issues since PHP execution is not affected by the browsers)

In FF, the source code says: - <td class='sitename'><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami" class="links2">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami</a></td>
However, the page only displays "en.wikipedia.org/wiki" in FF.
The source code is the same in Chrome and IE8.

Is there a way to change the CSS to make URLs display correctly in Firefox?

the only suspect I have right now is the overflow property.
maybe you should ask a Moderator to move this thread to the HTML/CSS forum, those guys usually know more about browser bugs.

You wouldn't have a link to this page, so we could see this for ourselves?
If not, could you post the CSS classes affecting the table?

print "<table class=\"navbar\">\n";
-
print "<tr>";
-
print "<td class='sitename'>".'<a href="http://'.$row['site'].'" class="links2">'.$row['site'].'</a>'."</td>";
The CSS: -
table.navbar {
-
margin-left:44px;
-
margin-top:0px;
-
text-align: left;
-
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ;
-
font-weight: normal;
-
font-size: 12px;
-
color: #000000;
-
width: 700px;
-
background-color: #A7E6FE;
-
border: 1px #FFFFFF;
-
border-collapse: collapse;
-
border-spacing: 4px;
-
padding: 4px;
-
text-decoration: none;
-
}
-
-
table.navbar td {
-
border: 2px solid #fff;
-
text-align: left;
-
height: 16px;
-
}
-
-
table.navbar td a{
-
padding: 3px;
-
display: block;
-
}
-
-
.sitename { width: 535px;
-
overflow:hidden;
-
}
-
-
a.links2:link {
-
color: #000000;
-
text-decoration: none;
-
text-align:left;
-
margin-top:6px;
-
margin-bottom:2px;
-
margin-left:2px;
-
padding:0px;
-
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
-
font-size: 12px;
-
width: 10px;
-
height: 12px;
-
vertical-align:middle;
-
}

Showing us the PHP does us no good. We need to see the generated markup, but I think this is not going to be a HTML/CSS or Firefox problem.

I think you need to remove "width: 10px;" from your a.links2:link
also
.sitename overflow:hidden; doesn't help

On line #26 of the CSS the <a> tags for that table are made block elements. That, coupled with the absolute width and the hidden overflow on the <td> would cause this.
The solution, therefore, is like zorgi suggested: remove the width from the link.
Removing either the display: block or the overflow: hidden would also work, but removing the width is probably best given that layout.
