If one browses ebuyer.com with Firefox (1.0 or 1.01), the page can appear
incorrectly displayed. Internet Explorer consistently views ebuyer without any
errors. It appears that CSS is not being applied to the page.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View any page on www.ebuyer.com
2. Chances of errors appearing are random

I get the same bug, but instead of getting the message in the screenshot posted
earlier, I get this message:

"Please note:
You are seeing this message because your browser does not appear to support CSS.
To view the site as it is intended please feel free to upgrade your browser to
the latest version of any of the following. Firefox, Mozilla, IE 6, Opera or
Netscape"

I also get this intermitently. Using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;

For some reason the error no longer occurs on ebuyer.com. It is possible that
the company upgraded their servers, so the problem was fixed. Please try to find
out what may have been causing it, lest it happen again.
