I don't think what we have is sufficient to go on to 
either confirm or disconfirm the reported problem. 
Can you provide the problem URL? The above URL:

http://www/V3/spawnindex.htm

doesn't point to a real page.

"need optus@home account

no, people outside optus@home won't get the page (as stated people require 
optus@home account).  What can be provided instead is the page at teh above 
url.  It has all the source code that the original page has.   In fact i just 
saved the original page and put it up at the above url.

To get more information, find someone with optus@home, Australia, account.

This bug will then have to remain unconfirmed.

You mayhave saved the original page but that page contains
reference to an external JavaScript file that needs to be
executed to display the page properly. 

We can analyze the attached page but that is not 
sufficient. The only way this problem can be ascertained 
correctly is through the real URL which points to the problem. 

We have many confirmed bugs and that should take precedence
over bugs that cannot be confirmed for sure. Please add
nfo that can be used to find the probelm page directly.

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.

same problems in 0.9.6 build

to add more information, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.6) 
Gecko/20011120"

Also, now at step 3 the drop down menu shows double of each of 3 preferences, 
and clicking on them fails to change teh default preference.

So originally it is set to Sydney, after clicking on MElbourne the menu comes 
back to Sydney.  By using the down arrow key it is possible to change to 
Melbourne if the menu is not retracted.

Final change, now in addition to menu links loading up, it is possible to move 
the mouse over the "Search" field and see 2 different images appear Index & 
Search.


To help with this, what was the needed external file?  I can obtain that too 
and put it up on the webspace.
