I see the problem (1.3b/win2k) it's the top navigation that's missing. the
problem is the broken comment syntax in the page:

[html code]
<!------------------- Top Bar & Banner -------------------->
[banner code]
<!------------------- Hot Menu Controls -------------------->
[etc]
<!------------------- Slider Menu Controls -------------------->

this is not a mozilla/phoenix bug - the page is wrong (and IE is working around
the errors in a non-standards-compliant way)

Attachment: mozilla's incorrect rendering of a thread

mozilla displays threads very incorrectly. graphics and tables dont display
correctly and a lot of content is missing

Comment 7

[jamie dalgetty]

Attachment: ie's proper rendering of a thread

this image shows how the thread is supposed to be displayer

Comment 8

[jamie dalgetty]

I added images to show the error in rendering

Comment 9

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Micahel is right -- the page is claiming a XHTML doctype yet has malformed
comments, relying on a comment-parsing bug in IE and NS4 that Mozilla only
shares in quirks mode.

SO what am I supposed to do? Does this mean that I have to use IE to view this
page? Id really rather not. Konquorer can view this site no problem, but when I
am not using my linux box obviously that is not an option.

You could mail the site owner and ask him to fix it.... That's the usual
approach when a site is coded to IE bugs.
