I have a html report that has several data elements that need to lined up in subheadings. I've been using the alignment grid to do so. Everything looks great in Internet Explorer but when testing in Firefox, the results are not the same and the columns are all bunched together. Is there a way to get the same result in Firefox as I do in Internet Explorer?
Here is an example file that can be run in each browser to see what I'm talking about.

Though it's not very well publicised Gerry's been talking about a PCHOLD DHTML which is supposed to be a lot more consistent in its layout than mere PCHOLD HTML.

As you are on 7.6 I would try this first.

Please put your code between 
[code]
[/code]
tags, some of the code is not displayed because it's getting translated into HTML tags (usually the < in HEADINGs).

I did what was suggested and changed the format to DHTML and that still didn't work for me.
Also I've been reading that there is a firefox plugin that might help, but that is not an option for me to use.
Any other suggestions?

Here is the code again between the tags that Francis suggested.

TABLE FILE CAR

ON CAR.COMP.CAR SUBHEAD
"Car:<CAR.COMP.CAR"
"Model:<CAR.CARREC.MODEL"

TSwan,

I don't have FireFox, so, I can't test. May want to contact IBI and ask for a FireFox resource.

Probably not what you are looking for, but, here is an alternative that does 'MOST' of what you were doing - exception being the Body Style line:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
CAR AS 'Car: ' OVER
MODEL AS 'Model: ' OVER
BODYTYPE AS 'Seats: '
DEALER_COST AS 'Dealer Cost: ' OVER
LENGTH AS 'Length: '
WIDTH AS 'Width: '
HEIGHT AS 'Height: '
WEIGHT AS 'Weight: ' OVER
WHEELBASE AS 'WheelBase: '
FUEL_CAP AS 'Fuel Capacity: '
BY 'CAR.COMP.CAR' NOPRINT SKIP-LINE
HEADING
""
FOOTING
""
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
SQUEEZE=ON,
ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
GRID=OFF,
FONT='ARIAL',
SIZE=9,
RIGHTGAP=0.125000,
$
TYPE=TITLE,
STYLE=BOLD,
$

$
TYPE=HEADING,

$
TYPE=FOOTING,

$
TYPE=SUBFOOT,
SIZE=10,

$

BACKCOLOR=RGB(210 210 210),
$
TYPE=ACROSSVALUE,
SIZE=9,
$
TYPE=ACROSSTITLE,
STYLE=BOLD,
$
TYPE=GRANDTOTAL,
BACKCOLOR=RGB(210 210 210),
STYLE=BOLD,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

See if this helps, instead of
"Body Type<+0>Seats<+0>Dealer Cost"

use:
"Body Type<+5>Seats<+5>Dealer Cost"
