Not sure if it is because of invalid html or a bug. I did notice that some of their pages work but others do not. It appeared that the ones that didn't work had a few blank lines before the source of the html frame. The frames that didn't have the space worked fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit http://www.hwelectric.com/contactus/index.html 2. 3. Actual Results: I saw html source. Expected Results: Displayed a correctly formatted page.
That's because http://www.hwelectric.com/hwe/contactus/condx.asp (the largest frame) is send to the browser with a text/plain mime-type. IE will show the webpage, but Mozilla is standards compliant and has to show the source code (that's what this mime-type is for). --> Tech Evangelism (bad configured webserver)

Ok... so should this bug be invalid then?
No, it's not invalid. It's a valid Tech Evang bug. Confirming new. You should consider writing the owner of the site and ask them to fix their server. You could refer them to this bug's URL as a reference.

I guess I don't understand what a "Tech Evang bug" is. The problem lies in their web server configuration so why is that a valid bug of any type for Mozilla?
Joe, a Tech Evangelism bug (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tech-evangelism/) is about educating people (both server and client side) to "do the right thing".
Site works now. ASP page referenced in comment #1 no longer exists. Cannot find any use of .asp extensions on the site any more.
yep. fixed.
