This sites has several issues:
1. When entering, it greets non-IE users with the following message (in Hebrew): 
"The site is compatible with IE4 or newer. Therefore, some parts may not work
properly in Netscape" (screenshot:

2. Pressing the button "Rentals" (״השכרה״) opens a frame that 
specifies Visual encoding. The page does not include a DOCTYPE statement (like
many other pages in this site). As a result, Mozilla displays it as Logical
ISO-8859-1.

3. When generating list of apartments, the "Details" button doesn't work.
document,all is used.
The following screenshot compares the result with IE6.

If needed, I can specify the exact step-by-step instructions to reproduce these
problems. I don't think it's necessary though.

The site works fine with 1.8a3/20040806, all the buttons and options seem to
work smoothly. The only problem that keeps me from closing this bug is the
warning message that "greets" Mozilla users when entering the site.
