I'm not sure if you realize this, but there is no such thing as a <left> tag in
HTML4.  So you were probably lucky it ever did anything....

The "go" button not appearing is bug 171713 (the page never closes the
<select>).  I'm not sure how that could have worked in 1.6, since that bug is
significantly older than 1.6.

The rest is a corollary of that issue.  In my build with a patch for bug 171713
the page displays "fine".
