This bug appears to not cause problems once lines 8-18 are deleted.  These lines
(JS) check for Netscape v4+ and replace index.html w/ sorry.asp if Netscape v4+
is found (probably mistakes Firefox b/c Gecko).   If the entire script that
deals with the sorry.asp replacement is deleted, bug appears to have little/no
effect. I made a copy of the site and tried the deletion, rendering success.

I hope you guys can help (I'm just perusing the bugs as an observer)

Sorry - last post was vague.  Lines 8-18 refer to index.html

I haven't checked the rest of the site, but some pages appear to not have that
code and display fine if you type in the page uri at manateeedc.com

I don't know who set this to be a Blocking severity - that can't be right, since it means it blocks development / testing of the product itself.  Back down to normal.
