    The sending of screenshot URLs should be done offlist, sent 
directly to Jan.  Jan can summarize the end result of the screenshots 
and fix (if one is found) later on.  That said, I think the problem 
is likely to be this one:

html, body
{
        overflow: hidden;
}

Since it looks as though all the content of the 'body' element has 
been positioned, it has neither height nor width-- and so all of the 
content overflows it, and is thus hidden.  At least, I think that's 
the problem, and I'm surprised that Mozilla still displays the 
contents.  Looks like I'll have to root around some in Mozilla.

what about an unordered list set to display inline??  is there anything
wrong with that??  a breadcrumb trail could be seen as a list....

cheers,

No. position:static is the default.

Quick glance:
Add a proper doctype.
There's a stray </script> tag.

For convenience of those wishing to help, put your style in the .html so
we don't have to pull down the external css file.
