Both green for me. What Browser are you using?

That might explain it - I'm at work on an olde IE (5.5) install. It looks to be a CSS issue.

It looks to be a problem with the way firefox handles span tags. Firefox might be doing it the right way, and ie is being too generous - but I don't know which way round it is.The only solutions I can find are:

​
1. replace span tag with a div - will result in an initial line break and the the entire page being filled with
   
   paragraph-1

   ​

   paragraph2
   crap
   ​
2. repeat span tags every time a p tag exists until /bgcolor - redundant
   ​
   paragraph-1
   ​
   
   paragraph2
   ​
3. perhaps it is possible to dynamically create two new lines with scripting? - overblown solution for a small matter
   ​
   Obviously I can't access server scripting to provide an example.
   ​
4. Insert a open and close h1 tag to force the new paragraph
   ​
   paragraph-1
   
   paragraph2
   ​

I'm sure there must be a better solution though.Edited by Modulous, : examplesEdited by Modulous, : corrected minor error

cheers, I wasn't. It was an impressively constructed on topic response looking at the issue in depth.Maybe not, but I posted quite a long post there that discussed issue in a way sympathetic to the OP, with some interesting suggestions. I just spend thirty minutes hacking at firefox trying to find any remnants of it. No such luck, I found some old topic headings, but not the main subjects.The world will have to lament that a great and powerful post of Mods is lost forever. Actually I reckon about as many posts don't get posted of mine as do - but that's a voluntary thing - this one is a naughty software hiccup. It's happened a few times recently and I think it is because jar is no longer propping his end of the bar up.Edited by Modulous, : No reason given.

Don't ask - the answer might make you cry.

No - I've noticed it too, but thought it was just me

1. type this in the browser address bar “about:config”
2. look for “layout.spellcheckDefault”
3. change the value to “2”
4. restart firefoxBy default I think it only spell checks textareas not input type = textabe: How rude of me. I copy pasted those instructions from Josh Highland's blogEdited by Modulous, : No reason given.

On my version I only see an option there to turn on spellchecking, I don't see an option for configuring the types of field to spell check. Is it different on your version?
