Description Nate Chapin 2009-04-13 17:16:38 PDT 
The js on this page is generating malformed html, which is not handled by webkit as nicely as FF or IE.  In the js function createFaq(), they're opening a <div> and closing a </layer>.  The <div>s don't get closed until the wrapping <ol> gets closed.  The result is several nested <div>s, which then get overwritten when an faq is selected. 

Ideally, the <div>s without matching </div> would get closed before they ended up nesting (this appears to be how FF and IE are handling this page).

Fixed by the HTML5 parser.
