    Wordpress's ShareThis plugin not working in Firefox

    I posted this question in Wordpress forum but no reply so posted again here as I know people are more responsive in this forum.

    I've installed the Wordpress's ShareThis plugin but the ShareThis icon appeared on top of every pages instead at the end of the posts. Eventhough I turn it off in the setting and copy the code into my theme, the icon still remain faithfully on every pages. Hence, I've to deactivate the plugin but the code still remain in my theme, somehow the ShareThis icon look fine in IE 7 and Safari 3 but not in Firefox 3. It screwed up my pages in Firefox and my comment box went haywire, see it here.

    Could someone advise why is not working well in Firefox? Is there a better solution?

    Appreciate any advices.

    Try changing the width of the Comments box from relative to absolute.

    Currently the code for such is
    Code:
    <p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>
    Note the the cols value is "100%."

    Hi there

    You might wish to sort your html code - 247 errors on home page.
    [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.v-sopdesign.com/blog/useful-templates-for-your-business/ - W3C Markup Validator

    Not sure where the template came from that this is based on, but frankly it is not very good. I would suggest that you adapt the default template with your colour scheme until you find your way around.

    I have to say that the wordpress forum is so busy that you have to be lucky or controversial to receive a response.

    Cheers

    Thank you deepsand. I've tried that before but no success. If I took out the the ShareThis plugin javascript, the comment fox will be fine in Firefox so I'm quite sure is the ShareThis script that causes the problem but just didn't know why.

    Iany, appreciate you took the trouble to check for me. I guess the html code will be easier to solve than the ShareThis script.

    Hopefully someone who encountered such problem could share how to solve it.

    Many thanks in advance.

    If you sort the html errors, we have a better chance of assisting with the problem. Who knows, it may be that once you have sorted those that the problem eithr has gone away or there is an obvious fix.
