what part of it does not work in firefox.

The chances are it is either a html or javascript problem and not a php problem as php is executed well before it reaches the browser.

See if the site creator is outputting valid html code...if the code doesn't validate, you can't really expect a standards-compliant browser to render it perfectly.

Thank you for your help
I honestly have no clue with codes and language...I try and check the html.

If it's a 3rd party script (i.e., someone else wrote it) you should let them know it's producing bad html. If you're paying for the software, you have reasonable expectation of support, if you're not...well, free software at least deserves a few minutes of your time to file a bug report

I noticed that many of the html comments on the page are of the form



and



These are breaking your page render, because HTML comments (by definition) must have spaces between the opening and closing tags.

Your comments should look like:



and



Quote from the actual html specification (emphasis mine):

Quote:

White space is not permitted between the markup declaration open delimiter("<!") and the comment open delimiter ("--"), but is permitted between the comment close delimiter ("--") and the markup declaration close delimiter (">"). A common error is to include a string of hyphens ("---") within a comment. Authors should avoid putting two or more adjacent hyphens inside comments.

Here's the location of the above quote in the formal spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4
