I have been tracking down many leads and it looks like the most 
promising is that Firefox no longer (it did 4 years ago) supports 
javascript injection coming back from an AJAX call.  What comes back 
from the server is a javascript that when run generates a menu 
structure.  IE8 supports it, but Firefox now blocks the running of that 
script.

So, it appears that this is a Firefox/javascript problem and not PHP nor 
PEAR.  I will stop with it in this news group.  I already have it in the 
Firefox forum and I will present it in the javascript forum.

PS:  there are not tag errors.
