The page is basically empty, and relies on script to load stuff and redirect the page. Unfortunately the script starts with: var xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"); which will immediately throw an exception in Mozilla, and therefore we will not show anything.

The problem is this: <input id="articalText" type="hidden" value="<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE:14 pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-US"> The entire article body is in the VALUE of a hidden INPUT. The INPUT VALUE is never closed by a " until after the article body. All " in the article body, even in the HTML elements, are escaped as "e;

To continue from comment 3: The page then attempts to use document.all manipulation to copy the hidden input value into the page body. The whole page is riddled with MS-XML-isms.

This is confirmed in both Linuz 1.3 versions, WinXP 1.3 and 1.4a. Both IE and KDE-Konqueror load these articles.

Looks like it is fixed. The code the manipulate the article body that is the value of a hidden input has changed to: if (navigator.appName.indexOf('Microsoft') != -1) { //thisbrowser="ie" if(document.all.artical) document.all.artical.innerHTML = document.all.articalText.value ; } else { //thisbrowser="NN6"; if(document.getElementById("artical")) document.getElementById("artical").innerHTML = document.getElementById("articalText").value ; } But images in articles are broken in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030410 Phoenix/0.5+ Choosing View Image from the context menu works though.

Images seems to work now - but I'm using an old build (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130).

The top left banner says "This temporary site is partially on hold until we launch the full and permanent site of english.aljazeera.net at the end of April... ..." Might be better to leave the bug open until the permanent site is launched?

I am going to move this to Arabic category. Though the site is in English, we might be better off in Arabic category to get a volunteer or two to work on this site in case intial suggestions don't work.
Component: Middle Eastern → Arabic
