Thx.

Actual Results:  Slow redraw; no rendering of "News" section on page

Expected Results:  Draw center grapic quickly, render news section

The "no rendering of news"-issue is an evangelism.
The page checks

if (document.layers)
	document.write(messages[1]);
if (document.all)
        ...

Netscape uses Layers, Microsoft Internet Explorer uses document.all.
Mozilla (a non-proprietary software =) uses neither of them.

-> Evangelism.

Changing summary from "Mozilla renderer does not render parts of the site
corectly" to "spirentcom.com works only with document.layers and document.all"

Reassigning owner and QA contact.

That may be true, but if Mozilla wishes to compete, it must be compatible with 
what is out there.

Mass reassign of all tech-evangelism us general bugs assigned to bc to 
doron except bc's P1 bugs. You may search for this mass reassign (it is 
305 bugs) by searching for the keyword 'greeneggsandham'

All sections of the page now render as in IE, checked 20030513 PC/WinXP.
No script calling document.layers/all is present.  Page was apparently corrected.
