Excel workbook saved as web-page - In IE it displays correctly (eg all non-hidden columns) - In Firefox it displays what I expect, plus the first of what should be a series of hidden columns

I saved an Excel workboob as a web-page - In IE 8 it displays exactly as I want (that is all visible, non-hidden columns) - In Firefox 10 it displays the same, plus the first of what should be a series of hidden columns - Why would Firefox see a hidden column which IE doesn't - I'm working on XP (fully up-to-date with all patches applied)

Thanks fmdeveloper as a result of you confirming that it is an FF bug I delved deeper into it and I've now found a fix as follows:- 1) Unhide Excel columns, format cells to ;;; 2) From first re-formatted col to rightmost end of all cols select & hide When saved as web page this then displays in FireFox as it does in IE NB: After re-formatting previously hidden cols it is necessary to hide all the remaining cols or there will be a display of blank cols in FF where garbled 'hidden entries' were seen previously Regards homeric

Known issue - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319428

IE is the only browser the renders the column hidden. All other browsers display the column. Don't think that it is going to be fixed by the browsers....
