Not under Mozilla, no way, not even if you've worked with it for months.

Very strange, cause it's not working under IE6 on my W2k box.  Perhaps
it's *only* for IE5?  This points up an issue even under
supposedly homogenous 'MS' platforms - often wildly differing behaviour
on seemingly similar platforms.  To illustrate, we've got the same
base software on our machines and a client's machine, but his
'luck' with our visual editor (MSHTML component) is bad compared with
ours - his system keeps reformatting embedded PHP code and whatnot in
the HTML area - it doesn't on ours.  He's got an earlier version of
Office installed, but that's about the only difference between the
systems.  But it makes a *huge* difference in how the stuff behaves.  :(
