[resolved] Firefox/Opera display cancel-comment-reply link where it shouldn't be (4 posts)

    No problem in Internet Explorer: the cancel-comment-reply link is displayed where it should be (above the comment textarea in nested comments) and does NOT display where it shouldn't be (which is above the main comment textarea at the bottom of the page).

    All other browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari), however, display the cancel-comment-reply link above the MAIN comment textarea at the bottom of the page as well. It clearly doesn't belong there. Is this a common problem? How can I get rid of it?

    Would you ask your mechanic to fix to your car without taking it into the shop?

    How about an URL? In the meantime, see if your site is valid.

    Sorry. I don't have a car, which is why I never take it to the shop ;-)

    So here's the URL. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, in all browsers except IE the words "CANCEL REPLY" are displayed above "Your Thoughts" over the main comment textarea. But only during the initial loading of the page. Strangely, upon hitting "Reply" followed by "CANCEL REPLY" in one of the nested comment boxes, the cancel-comment-reply link above the main comment textarea magically disappears:

    I'll be checking the validation link you provided. Thank you.

    Issue resolved. Thanks apljdi for the recommendation to do a validation check. The problem was caused by a duplicate inline-style declaration I had playfully inserted into the cancel-comment-reply link in the comment-template.php file. Upon removal of said inline style, the unwanted cancel-comment-reply link above the main comment textarea disappeared.

    :)
