After Bentley having changed the download webpage it has become almost impossible to download software with Firefox and Opera anymore. In fact Bentleys download page is the only one I remember in the last couple of months to show such behaviour. I have sent a feedback to Bentley's webmaster, and got this feedback today.
Please tell me that this is a joke...
You've got one week to fix it before I'm going to make a big thing out of that. This is ridiculous!
P.S.: Your website won't run on Internet Explorer V8 anymore, btw.
Hello Andreas Zieritz: This is the solution for the Service Ticket listed below that you submitted on behalf of Node Rådgivende Ingeniører AS. ST Description: Selectservices.bentley.com Feedback: Err Product: SelectServices Keyword: General Our website is made to run on Internet Explorer and not Firefox.

Your answer is the one I had expected from Bentleys webmaster (or support).
File a TR, and fix it as soon as possible.
To fix this problem you should either:
1. put <br clear="all" /> before table with id "repeater" (personally I would remove unnecessary <p> </p>)
or
2. add #repeater { float:left;} to selectservices.css
HTML validation reports 19 problems, for example multiple <li> with same ID (MultiActive). This particular error shows that designer of this page does not understand basics of CSS styling (ID should be unique in HTML document). What shocked me that HTML source of this page (with default state of comboboxes on previsous page, ie. with 86 products listed) is 608 kB. This could explain why SELECTservices pages are so slow. __VIEWSTATE of this page has unbelievable 217 kB.
