The link works fine for me. Can you give a specific URL where this is happening?
Most likely its a case of the server sending the wrong content type. In those
cases IE tries to detect it automatically while Mozilla/Firefox displays it as
sent, which is the correct way.

happens over
these two
http://www.down.co.il/cgi-bin/index
http://www.sakal.co.il/jsp/pg/InvoiceReconstruct.jsp
the headers are really text/plain
but its really is a pain
because there are alot of pages with this error
and we might need them even tho
thy were written incorrectly.

I've been having the same problem. In my case i had to clear my cache everytime.
Any idea how to fix it.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I also am having this problem on several pages on my own site.  I am using 
Dreamweaver to design the pages and it is not coming up with any critical 
errors for Mozilla 1.0, but even when I use the FireFox beta 1.5 build, I have 
this problem.

The following are three pages from my site where the problem is occuring:

http://www.ashenempireshq.com/images/Boots/Boots.asp
http://www.ashenempireshq.com/images/Belts/Belts.asp
http://www.ashenempireshq.com/Weapon/Large%20Blades/LBs.asp

This problem is also being reported on the forum for the Ashen Empires game by 
two other users who are both using Mozilla build 1.0.4

The problem is on the server side. Your server is configured to send .asp files
as text/plain, so Firefox displays them as such. The fact that IE does not is a
bug in IE.

And the way to resolve this so the page displays and functions correctly in FF 
and IE is to do what??

I just tested the page in dhtml,shtml,xhtml and html and the only way that it 
is working with the current code is to have it in either asp or html.

Configure your web server so that it sends the correct content-type header. As
mentioned, this has nothing to do with Firefox.
