Hi John,
Why do the test when the answer of why FireFox doesn't work is well known?
Microsoft wrote their scripts in DHTML. Specifically, they use
document.all[] instead of document.getElementById() to access the <span>
tags that represent the validators.
This article discusses it in detail:
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/051204-1.aspx
Another third party solution is "Professional Validation And More"
(http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx). Its 22 validators provide
client-side validation on IE, IE/Mac, Netscape 7, Mozilla, FireFox, Opera 7
and Safari.
