User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20020926
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20020926

from what i can tell from the source code, the page is using java buttons to
switch articles (works and displays correctly in internet explorer for
reference).  In mozilla based browsers, the alternative articles and pictures
just display at the bottom of the page instead of appearing in a usable and
proper format.  This problem also happens with all versions of java i have used.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  type in the url for the discovery channel web page (www.exn.ca)
2.  problem is how the page is loaded
3.

Actual Results:  
bad, non-functional layout

Expected Results:  
displayed an interactive (Java?) interface

This site is sniffing Gecko (Netscape 6 and 7) as Netscape 4 and serving it
<layer> tags, on the home page as well as others. The home page displayed
correctly when I spoofed as IE6.

The web site has been changed over weekend, there is no need to fix this bug
since the old page isn't even there to test it
