Postback Events Don't Fire In FireFox

Today I was looking at our Internet-facing SharePoint site after my roommate told me that the language drop down was not working in Firefox. I thought for sure it must have been something that changed in Firefox since it still worked in IE, Safari, and Chrome. I did some research to see if other people were having any problems with drop down lists or post backs in Firefox and I found many posts about similar problems but none of them matched my case.



Then I found a post where someone was having the same problem and that after hours of them searching for what was wrong, they found that their form tag was outside the body tag. So I poked into SharePoint Designer for my master pages and sure enough my form tag was way up at the top just within the HTML tag and not inside the body tag like it should be.



I have had problems with this before where SPD will move the location of code because it thinks that is where the code should go. This time it nearly caused me to pull out my hair. So if you find that post backs aren't working in Firefox only you may want to check the location of your form tag and make sure that it is inside the body tag.
