When using the build Gecko/20030109 Phoenix/0.5, the site www.news.at is not
loading anymore. It just loads an empty white page...
With other sites no problem so far. 

With builds Gecko/20030103 and prior it is working properly.

the site is very unstandard (it has 2 <head>s), but i suppose if it used to
work, then it still should work.
www.news.at is one of the biggest news sites here in Austria, Europe.
IMHO A webbrowser should manage to display it properly...

the site does not display in new mozilla builds either, so you probably want to
change the product from phoenix to browser.  also, you should probably add
'www.news.at' to the summary to make for easier searching.
ok, changing the product to BROWSER and modifying summary text.

It was bug 187790 behaviour (document.write outside body). This issue was fixed
on today build, so www.news.at work for me on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows
NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030110.
Yep, this is how it should work. With newest build Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20030110 Phoenix/0.5 the problem is gone!
Resolving tha bug as FIXED.

> the problem is gone!

No it's not, the webpage is still horrendously broken.
Relying on browser error correction is a really bad coding practice.
If it's "one of the biggest news sites here in Austria" people reading the site
should mail them and ask them to fix the many errors. :)
