The page uses IE-specific javascript (using document.all) to show the images.

confirming using build 2003071508 on Linux.
Opera 7.11 on Linux displays the picture.

This is because </table> is closed before </center> whereas <table> was opened
before <center> is opened.

Opera also supports document.all, mind you.

Attachment: Reduced page (not exactly a testcase to leave the code as-is)

Boris, I'm not sure I understand, there may be two separate issues here, the
file I uploaded is basically the picture viewer code, which closes tags in
revert order (table and center), which prevent Mozilla from displaying the
image. I mentioned Opera just to make sure it wasn't a site issue. The site
itself probably use document.all anyway. :)

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

OK, so the document.all issue is in fact separate.  The real issue is the
following markup:

<table><tr><td>
<center>
<iframe height="83%">
</center>
</td></tr></table>

Per spec, the height of that iframe should be "auto".  We're doing some sort of
weird stuff with it -- removing the table makes things happier, as does putting
us into standards mode.

So this is a quirks-only bug with our attempts at broken backwards-compatible
percent sizing.
