I didn´t see anything on this page, only a blue window, and JS console shows the
same warning for line 10 and line 15, twelve times for each line.

http://www.suzukicycles.com/ seems to be html, but the core.css contains a xhtml
namespace?  @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);


<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

CSS-files:

JS-console:

Warning: reference to undefined property navigator.plugins['Shockwave Flash 2.0']
Source File: http://www.suzukicycles.com/scripts/fpi-main.js
Line: 10

function detectFlash() {  

  // If navigator.plugins exists...
  if (navigator.plugins) {
    // ...then check for flash 2 or flash 3+.
    if (navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"]     
        || navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"]) {
      // Some version of Flash was found. Time to figure out which.
 
      // Set convenient references to flash 2 and the plugin description.
      var isVersion2 = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? " 2.0" : "";

I also got a blue screen.  I noticed that when delete overflow:hidden from BODY
I can see the content.  According to bz (bug 175183) mozilla is displaying this
correctly.  To use the menu system I have to delete overflow:hidden from #navDiv.  
I'm not shure why that fixed it.

Note that I see the page contents with mozilla 1.4, 1.5rc1 (version of this bug
report, I believe), 1.5 and firebird 0.7 (Mac OS X), which suggests I would not
have seen this bug in September or early October.  However, in mozilla 1.6a and
recent nightly builds of mozilla and firebird, I see nothing but a blue window.  

The suggested change to the css does "fix" the problem (as does adding certain
<!DOCTYPE> lines to the html, including an xhtml doctype), but if mozilla is
doing the right thing vis-a-vis bug 175183, dating from the mozilla 1.2 era, why
the change between 1.5 and 1.6a?  Or is the behaviour different under OSX?

What I'm seeing matches the comments, but not the summary or original bug
description.

Well, the page as a whole and the menus WFM 20040918 PC/WinXP.

Resolving bug.  Could be reopened if someone can still reproduce this in a
current build.
