User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

the example page uses javascript to build a toolbar, but it does not render in
either Chimera or Mozilla. It does render in IE for OS X.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just compare the page in Chimera/Mozilla vs. IE.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
There are no navigation tabs

Expected Results:  
tabs should be there.

A quick look at the code shows that the tabs are being built with javascript.
Sorry, I don't know enough about js to debug further.

To Tech Evangelism. Page calls document.layers and document.all, and contains
other JS syntax errors.

Avram,

They are using server side sniffing in their ASP script. In NS7 I get the
toolbar but in Mozilla I do not. I don't received any JS errors in the console
however.

What they need to do is treat any Gecko based browser like they do NS7.

Please contact them as a customer and complain. Let us know what they say.
