Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020228
WFM.  page freezes Mozilla for a bit, but loads eventually.

Please ALWAYS include Build ID

on a day old CVS, Linux, 1024kbps/P3/500:
Mozilla freezes for around a minute, then renders "something" but the page looks
very wrong: images and menus repeat several times lower down the page, but are
missing where they probably are intended to display; closer to top.

Ah...  Well there are three issues:

1) the page (at the end of the html) assumes that any browser id'ing itself as
Netscape can handle layers.  That's why the page looks bad and non-functional.

2) hp_navScript.js seems to assume that navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=0
means that browser is IE (?why?). That doesn't help the functionality.

3) the performance hit during load is from document.writeln statements, which
are designed to create the menus.

if issue #1 was solved, #3 would not be so bad (not as much needs to be written
for IE menus)
