in my html code I use css for absolute positing of a sit map. One of my boytom styles #1935 works fine in IE but in Firefox it displays at the top left of the screen.

The address of the page is: http://www.barryrich.net/timeline/timelinemap.htm

It's a yellow block with text (1935)

Thanks for any advice on this.
