From the URL structure, I am guessing they are using the same server-side system
as bug #185767.  These are obviously related.  I do see style differences with
this site between Mozilla and Internet Explorer.

they are !only! using serverside detection of browser - unlike bug #185767

I get served two !very! different versions of these pages depending on whether I
use Mozilla as user-agent or spoof as MSIE 6.0

this is a screenshot of the frontpage with user agent spoofing to MSIE 6 and
making sure no cookies were present before entering the website

ht.dk appears to have changed the Netscape version of their page. It's ugly but
(mostly) functional.

the site has been completely rewritten and now seems to works properly with Mozilla
