Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040914

DOM Inspector shows for BODY:
Position: x:0 y:0
box width:    792    box height:   644
margin-top:   -16px  margin-right:   8px
margin-bottom:  8px  margin-left:  -16px

borders, padding = 0

Links to stylesheets:

https://onlineid.bankofamerica.com/images/weas/stylesheet/win_ns4.css

I then tried to view the page using Opera, they told me I´ve got Opera 7.54 and
 should go get another browser, offering me two links for convenience.
I tried the Netscape link, then Microsoft, to no avail.

-> Tech Evangelism, Mozilla is correct in rendering.

Comment 3

[Hermann Schwab]

the page renders fine with Netscape7.2, but not with Mozilla, as Mozilla gets
stylesheets made for Netscape 4.x

I revisited the page with Mozila 1.7.3, same result, and Netscape7.2, working fine.

Netscape7 gets different stylesheets:
https://onlineid.bankofamerica.com/images/weas/stylesheet/win_ns6.css
https://onlineid.bankofamerica.com/images/weas/stylesheet/weas_win_ns6.css

They don´t seem to know that Netscape 6 descends from mozilla 0.6, 
that Netscape7.0 descends from Mozilla 1.0, 7.1 from mozilla 1.4, 7.2 from
Mozilla 1.7.2, so the same stylesheet they are using for Netscape7 would do for
Mozilla 1.x

Replacing

<!-- pkc common css beg -->
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/images/weas/stylesheet/win_ns4.css">
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="/images/weas/stylesheet/weas_win_ns4.css">

<!-- pkc common css end -->

with

	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/images/weas/stylesheet/win_ns6.css">
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="/images/weas/stylesheet/weas_win_ns6.css">

should solve this problem.

They recommend not to use beta browsers, and block Opera 7.54 because of lacking
support for 128bit encryption.
