All the index pages of this site appear corrupt.
This is a slang dictionary, which displays some large pages.
I'm going to use page for entries of the letter B as an example.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL
2. Navigate to section "B" of the slang dictionary. (Frame url =
http://www.odps.cyberscriber.com/slangb.html)


Actual Results:  
Hangs for ~15seconds.
When browser is responsive again, the page is displayed.
Entries from "ba'bag" to "beaner" are displayed correctly.
There then follows some garbage, then what appears a correct end of page.
If I download the web site, delete lines 35-973 (enties "ba'bag" to "beaner") I
can get the entries "beano" to "bizzies" to display correctly. 
Once again beyond bizzies further garbage is displayed.

Expected Results:  
1. Remain interactive the whole time page is downloaded & displayed.
2. Display at least some of the page almost immediately.
3. Display all the entries in this section of the dictionary.

This page is displayed correctly in Konqueror.
This page was failing om mozilla 1.2.1 and before.

I'm assuming this is a layout bug, because can break the page down into smaller
chunks that succeed, while whole page fails.
It is too many unclosed <font> tags case. Last string of each paragraph is:

<font face="Arial Narrow"><b><font color="#008000"><font size=-1>USA (NE) 
			</font></font></b><p>

3 open and 2 closed <font>. So I guess it is dupe of bug 58917.
You're right:
On the copy I downloaded did the fillowing:
search: </font></font></b></i><p>
replace: </font></font></font></b></i><p>
Can display from "ba'bag" to "buzz off" now.
Now only the last entry is missing.

(I think that's because the page is not particularly consistent in it's use
of tags).

Time to inform the webmaster I think.
Marking as duplicate.
