Buttons -- You got me looking in a new place and I finally found the problem. I've been searching forums endlessly and nothing was solving my problem. Although your suggestion didn't result in a solution, I went back to the Firefox forum and pinpointed the problem to my local server config. After updating the php.ini default_mimetype from the default of "text/html" to "", it worked. Unfortunately, when I checked my host server, it is set to the default so I'll have to resort to using/updating a .htaccess file for Form Tools, Drupal, and Joomla. I knew it had to be environmental once Drupal and Joomla started showing the same problem.
The mystery was trying to figure out why it was a problem with Chrome and Firefox and not IE. Being stuck on that prevented me from finding the solution. Actually, it did turn out to be a problem with IE. Firefox and Chrome follow the standards for handling MIME types and IE 8 still doesn't. Apparently this will be corrected in IE 9. If all three browsers didn't work, I might have been able to narrow the problem down better.
I'll chalk it up to my first experience of developing on my own localhost. Live and learn.
