worksforme with linux build 20020428.

Are you getting genuinely different pages?  You can check this by saving the
HTML each time and then comparing (with diff).

i saved the page when it was showing improperly and saved it when it was
rendered properly. tried to check the differences (using "# diff doc1.html
doc2.html") but when i saved the  documents, it also tsaved the files for the
page in separate folders so it showed differences when the images etc. had
diferent sources. 
I also viewed the files again using mozilla while they were saved on my
computer, the imperfect file still showed up improperly. The saved file also
showed up improperly in the konqueror browser, which makes me believe that the
HTML has actually changed.

could you attach the bad page here?  the images won't work, etc, but in the
screenshot, it looked like the HTML itself was screwed up.  Also, if you save as
"HTML only" instead of "complete", it will not modify the HTML or grab the images.

This is probably networking or DOM, depending on whether the HTML was in the
original page, or Javascript-generated.  Probably networking as there aren't
many document.write's in the page.

Received bad html page from art.
The bad html page has the following:
<IMG SRC="http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/ubb/icons/icon1.gif" BORDER="0">

The real html page should have:
<img SRC="http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/ubb/icons/icon1.gif" BORDER="0">

Perhaps Mozilla had already decided it was not a real tag and "fixed" the '<'
and '>' (page was saved as "web page, complete")
art: could you save a bad page again, but save as HTML only?

Reporter: Is this still a problem with 1.1b ?

via mail:
I have jsut started trying a couple other browsers and they seem to be
doind the same thing... I am thinking it may be the way my proxy gets the
page and sends it to my internally networked computers?I havent tried Mozilla
1.1Beta yet, but it didnt seem to do it in 1.1
