On the latest version of PC Firefox, I am noticing some strange
behavior. If you look at this page
http://remanresource.com/home.php
and click on the "View Demo" link towards the bottom, you'll notice the
first time you click on the link, the link moves to a different place
on the page. The second click yields the right behavior. However, it
does not do this on IE. What gives?
Thanks, - Dave
It must be the caret browsing. Press the F7 key and turn off caret
browsing.

Sorry, this behaviour is not seen on my PC. I use FF 2.0 on Windoze
XP/Ubuntu Linux. The page works perfectly for me.

I've seen that on occasion; and I can definitely reproduce it on the
page linked above.
See <http://ilias.ca/flashback/fx2-movinglink.html>.
I've seen a few similar bugs; but without knowing the exact cause, I
can't say with certainty, that it is a Firefox. I'm willing to bet it's
a Firefox bug, though.

"Jumping links" on first click only, describes a known bug (see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351491 ). That bug is marked
"fixed1.8.1.1" meaning the current Firefox 2.0.0.1 pre-release nightly builds
don't exhibit it anymore. If you can't wait for a fix, you may download the
"2.0.0.1pre" installer or achive applicable to your OS from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8/ and
install it AT YOUR OWN RISK. These are nightly builds, they should be OK but
they are less extensively tested than release builds and a fix for one bug
might conceivably have introduced a different bug. I'm using them and
upgrading approx. every 24 hours, but the fact that I use them with no
problems on my Linux system guarantees nothing for other users. If you install
such a nightly build, you may want to install also the "Update Channel
Selector" extension if you don't want to get an update notification every day.
Best regards,
Tony.

Its a very speciallized usage. I don;t use it either.
I just tried it with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1pre)
Gecko/2006120103 BonEcho/2.0.0.1pre
After a couple or refreshes, I reproduced it:
<http://ilias.ca/flashback/fx2-movinglink2.html>
I then went to the default homepage, cleared private data (history,
cache, cookies, authenticated sessions), then went back to
<http://remanresource.com/home.php>, and it got worse:
<http://ilias.ca/flashback/fx2-movinglink3.html>
Well, I'm using (as I said) 2.0.0.1pre nightlies, I tried the indicated link,
and got no jump. It opened a blank page but that must be due to an inadequate
or missing plugin.
Best regards,
Tony.
Chris, can you tell me which application you used to make those flash
presentations... Those are very good.
