The div with red background is being centered and I don't know why.
Any ideas?
I'd like for it to be on the left...

because you have floated both of them left. Well, rather, the input field is
inside a div that is floated left. If you look real close you will note that
the top of the red div is above (and to the right) of the input field.
The clear: right on the div that contains your offending red div has no
effect on prior left floated elements.
This is some bizarre mark up. You should study up on what float really
means.

Perfectly valid XHTML according to validator.w3.or g. Now view that
page in Firefox and save it as HTML. eg. File -Save Page As. Open
the resultant page and look at it. You'll see it's no longer valid
XHTML. And take a look at the junk it adds to the body background css
property.
So I do apologize for not using valid XHTML. I also apologize for
using Firefox to save a page in an attempt to isolate the problem. Oh

won't treat it as CSS unless the Content-Type is text/css. mod_mime
(I think) will set the Content-Type automatically to that if the
extension is *.css, but if it's *.php or whatever, you'll have to set
it, yourself. Here's an example:
I tried, incidentally, using a meta tag to set the Content-Type to
text/xhtml but I'm still getting HTML when I save. I guess I'll need
to create an .htaccess rule or something, but I'm somewhat hesitant to
do that, because not all the *.html's I have actually are XHTML. Some
really are HTML.
Seems like I probably ought to post this on mozillazine.org ...

Why would you want to use a browser to save pages? View the source andNow view that page in Firefox and save it as HTML. eg. File -Save
Page As. Open the resultant page and look at it. You'll see it's no
longer valid XHTML. And take a look at the junk it adds to the body
background css property.

Oh well. RIP Firefox.
paste it into your text editor instead. Keep the browser; it's a good
one.

What version of FireFox did you use? I get exactly the same page
back every time I save the above URL with FireFox 2.0.0.12,
whether I save the page directly or view the source first and
then save.

"Web Page, HTML only" and got the exact same page (instead of the
Firefox altered one). Maybe someone could confirm?

your local PC. Whatever it was on the remote server is irrelevant at
this point. A meta tag won't do anything to change that on your local
system, either. You won't get an XHTML content type unless you view it
through a local web server with the proper configuration.

I've been saving as "Web Page, complete". I just tried to save as

will work correctly once it's downloaded to your local drive. There may
be other changes as well but I've never bothered looking at them.
Regardless, it is not intended to be identical to the remote page.
If you want the page in it's unaltered state, View Source the online
page and save *that*.
