I can't see the new in the middle page, i check

generate by like this
<TR>                                                                           
                                                                               
            
   <TD vAlign=top width="100%" bgColor=#ffffff colSpan=2                       
                                                                               
                                                                 
   height=52>   <script language=javascript src="newslink1.php?type=&#23186;&#20307;&#21271;&#22823;
&item=10&width=52"></script>                                                   
                                                                               
                                                
<TR>     

So it should be a bug about javascript processing, right??
Wish you can resolve it, and the code after "type=" can't see
just because it is chinese coding.

If you are not responsed for javascript, will you forward it
to the one who will do it?

pku website is the famouse university site in china, so I hope
mozilla will view it fine.

Wish you luck!

Qu is correct. The middle of the page is created by external 
JavaScript files that document.write() the HTML content.

The problem is the Unicode characters in the URL of the 
external script. We can make a reduced testcase like this, 
by taking just one of the external scripts:

<script language=javascript 
src="http://pkunews.pku.edu.cn/newslink.php?type=ѧÊõ½²Ì³&item=5&width=22">
</script>


This is supposed to document.write() HTML content to the page.
Here is some of the source of that <script> file:

document.write('<tr>');
document.write('<td width=98% height=15 valign=top align=left>');
document.write('<a 
href="newsshow.php?id=7594">ÍõµÇ·å£º¶«Î÷·½ÎÄ.....</a>');


                       etc.
                       etc.


All this is missing from the main site, since none of these external
<script>'s load properly, and the document.write()'s do not occur.

Reassigning to Networking component; we have to be able to 
handle URLs with extended characters, right?

Actually, this is a duplicate of bug 158241 at the same site.
That bug has a good reduced testcase attached showing the problem -
