I looked through their stylesheet http://mediadownloads.walmart.com/mmce/css/mmce.css and saw nothing that would cause such a drastic problem. I didn't take too much time to do the debugging, but I'm about 75% sure that this is all caused by a missing bracket or semicolon in the stylesheet which Internet Explorer probably fixes automatically.

Apparently HP has some work to do here. A little embarrassing for Wal-Mart and HP I'd think?I for one wouldn't ever download a movie from here, particularly because there's no option to burn to DVD, but also because of the price. I'd much rather have a hard-copy for that price.The only thing I'd ever consider would be a TV show which you can download for a few cents cheaper than iTunes.

When viewing the site in Firefox it's nothing more than jumbled text. I can't believe it. I don't understand because the rest of Walmart's site works just fine in FF. I wonder if this part of the site was contracted out. Is that where HP comes into play? Andrew wrote:

It's not like buying music online where you can purchase a single track or the entire album and then <strong>burn it to a CD</strong>. If I could burn the movie to a DVD then it may be worth the convenience.
