Firefox 5.0 doesn't seem to be able to load innerHTML supported in FX 4 and FX 3.x.x.

The script on this page (scroll all the way down with view source and ignore the note) I provided is having the same issue that Internet Explorer has, and that was working with FX version 4 and lower and even Chrome. I'm thinking that it is an error with the innerHTML as there are two parts of the script that use innerHTML and neither are loading. IE also has trouble with innerHTML and shows the exact same blank area where the HTML should load.

Other people of my website have noticed the same error when upgrading from Firefox 4 (and the difference between other browsers and FX 5) and so I know this is not a one-man issue.

So if there is an alternative way I can code my website to make it work with FX5 or a way to fix the browser I would appreciate any help.

Real good, you are asking for help and the source code is blocked from being viewed.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

You'll need to register and login to be able to post in that forum.
You're probably going to have to allow access to the source code for that page for anyone to be able to help you.

Actually, that little note is just designed to keep cut/paste noobs from seeing my code. Simply scroll down and you'll see it plain (though I'll admit I probably should have noted that in my question). Other than that, thanks for the forum link. I'll try to get help from them.
