When I use IE6 to browse my moodle frontpage, it can display both left and right block with no need to scroll.

but when I change to Firefox, the block width are not the same as IE6, I have to scroll to see the entire page.
One more problem, I can not use copy and paste in HTML editor with Firefox although I have edited user.js as instructed.
Any ideas ? please help.

I tested it here and got the same results. IE Seems to be wrapping the links in your news postings and firefox isn't so I would look for any firefox settings that would allow this. CAn you edit the links to 1 word to check that this is the case?

Yes, I shorten some links on the left block and take out the top-message block on the middle block, the left block width seems to be shortened to the longest link. but the middle block is still wide with the messages in the forum.
I understand that there might be something to do with css setting. ( which I am not keen on )
My osc2nuke main page is also a mess under Firefox as attached picture.
But it is neatly displayed under IE and Avant browser ( See http://www.bangkaew.com/main/index.php?newlang=english )

The problem is those long Thai sentences without spaces, eg

Thanks, Martin, you are so nice.
I have asked Firefox the solution for the problem of long Thai sentences without spaces, it seems to take more time.
By the way, I appreciate your kind support so much and would like to donate , but I still have to raise fund for the abandoned Thai Bangkaew dogs too.  Donations for Shelters Project

What I can do now is to put your logo on every pages under footer.htm of Matias_Lautaro Theme at my website http://elearning.bangkaew.com .

Matias_Lautaro Theme logo for Moodle looks too small and without link.
Wish you happiness and good luck forever.

Dear vichien,

I have donated 20 US $ to your charity. I hope you have not been hit hard by the tsunami. We read every day in the newspaper about the tragedy in your part of the world. Our thoughts are with you.

Thank you very much.
Members of Bangkaew.Community are all right.
But many thousands of Thai and foreign visitors to Thailand were unlucky.
There are many dogs left on the flattened island waiting for rescues also.

Wish you a happy new year.
