For the life of me, I can't seem to figure this one out. I'm using Conditional Comments and while it seems to work great in IE. Firefox and Chrome, for some reason, move a div container into a previous one. However, I can only see this in firebug, even view source shows it correctly.
Original Code (it's for school, from a book, ;):

<p class="firstp">Robert Frost was born in San Francisco on March 26, 1874.
While still a young boy, Frost's father died and the family moved to
Massachusetts. Frost attended Dartmouth College for less than a semester,
after which he moved back to Massachusetts to teach and work as a reporter
for a local newspaper. Frost returned to college in 1897 to attend Harvard,
but he did not graduate. Frost was essentially a self-educated man.</p>
<p>After Harvard, Frost married and sold the farm he had inherited. With
the proceeds of the sale, he moved his family to England, where he wrote for
ten years without success. His first works were published by a
London publisher in 1913.</p>
<p>Frost's works, once printed, met immediate acclaim. His collection of
poems <i>A Further Place</i> won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. Though he is
sometimes cast as a pastoral poet, Frost was also a fierce intellectual with
a decidedly dark view of himself and the world. Frost would use rural
settings as a metaphor for his philosophical views. Robert Frost is one of
the best-known and most loved of American poets. He died in Boston on
January 29, 1963.</p>
<p>Two of Frost's poems are included below. Click the sound icon located next
to each poem to hear readings of each work.</p>

Any ideas?

The solution is to use to start the Conditional Comment and use to end it. Like so:
<!--[if IE]>
<object classid="clsd:clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" codebase="http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6-windows-i586.cab" type="application/x-java-applet" width="700" height="30">
<param name="code" value="PopMenu.class" />
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]><!-->
<object classid="java:PopMenu.class" type="application/x-java-applet" width="700" height="30">
<!--<![endif]-->
It also displays properly when Active X is turned off.
