URL-field above must start with http://, corrected.

The first link I saw looking at the source-code was:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/personal/style/ns4.css" />
http://www.commbank.com.au/personal/style/ns4.css

So it seems they are doing serverside browser sniffing, and seeing Netscape they
are assuming you are using Netscape 4.
Didn´t look any further.

page does not use CTL, it's a normal english page.

actually, MSIE gets a different version of the page than mozilla.
when mozilla gets the msie version, the page renders fine.

If you spoof your ua to NS7.1 or NS 6.x the page works. They are doing server
side sniffing an looking for Netscape in the ua string. All they need to do is
sniff for "Gecko/" in the ua string and it will work in all Gecko browsers. See
http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2002/browser-detection/ for details on
the philosophy of browser detection. 

Bill can you contact them?
