Do you mean Firebird will scroll the text, while IE does not?

Todd, I cannot see any problem with Mozilla 1.6 on Win2000.
This is probably not a firebird bug, because the displaying engine is the same.
Todd, please describe the problem more clearly or attach a screenshot.

Follow-Up Tests:  
1. Type http://www.iht.com/articles/117509.html on the Mozilla Firebird
2. Scroll down and notice there is a big blank area following the text at the
bottom.

Do the same replication steps with IE and find no problem.

With Firefox 0.8 I see no such problem. Both of you are/were using 0.7, so
*maybe* updating helps. Bug 113779 was similar (and not easily reproducable),
but claimed to be fixed.

Successfully able to replicate the bug on Windows 2000 Professional with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Firebird/0.7

It is the same website, but it's working properly with Internet Explorer as
seen in the attachment file.

Hello?
This was reproduced with Firebird 0.7 already, no use in doing this again.
As I already said: Firebird/now Firefox 0.8 is out quite a while now and I
cannot see anybody mentioning having seen this bug on this latest version.

Firefox/0.8

"Scroll down and notice there is a big blank area following the text at the
bottom."  That blank area is caused by bad javascript code, thus is invalid.

There are actually two different bugs described in this thread.  One was about
the blank area, which is invalid, and the other was a drawing problem pointed
out by Oben Yapar, which is WFM.  Will mark as WFM since the original author
didn't specify which bug he was referring to, and Firefox/bird shouldn't have
drawn it as it did in Mr. Yapar's screenshot.

A note about the bad Javascript code:

This is reproducable in both IE and Mozilla-based browsers.  Simply make the
window small, and then scroll down.  If it doesn't work, try making it smaller,
and try again.
