We are working on a website that is here:

http://www.lauradenyes.com/

The site was working till I put up an .htaccess file that was suppose
to redirect all html files to the PHP parser. The site then stopped
working, because I had the address of the PHP parser wrong. I then
deleted the .htaccess file, and the site began to work again. However,
on one machine it still does not work in FireFox.

We've four machines in our office. The site currently works on 2
browsers on 3 of those machines, and it works in IE on the 4th machine.
But it doesn't work in FireFox.

I assume this is some kind of cache problem, but I'd like some outside
input.

Thanks much.

The page to which you refer is non-standard.
<URL:http://validator.w3.org/> reports 28 HTML 4.01 errors.
        
If the page were error-free, a Firefox bug report might be
appropriate. However, with the detected bugs in the Web page, it
is not possible to determine whether Firefox or the page itself is
at fault.

I use Mozilla as my Web browser because I want a browser that
complies with Web standards. See <URL:http://www.mozilla.org/>.

Could be individual options settings on the computers. Lawdy be, with
all those nested framesets, I wouldn't know where to begin to look for
an answer.

It reveals fewer errors if you manually choose a frameset doctype (as
none is specified in any of the pages (which is itself an error).

I doubt not a bit that this is a browser problem.

Thanks much. Do you know of an appropriate forum where I could ask
about browser problems?

Here's a tip for you: Either get yourself a real newsreader and quit
using google groups to post to usenet, or learn how to turn the quoting
feature on, then use accepted quoting practices. Dumping google is the
better way to go, since many people already killfile any google posters.

"How to post" comes up regularly, but you've been around long enough
where you should have seen this many times already.
