Build Identifier: Firefox V1.01

The page http://www.southwingchun.com/files/venues.dwt is displayed as source 
code rather than rendering it as a page.  The page displayes fine in IE6.0

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter the URL into the browser
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The HTML is displayed instead of being interpreted. eg.

<html>
<head>
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="doctitle" --> 
<title>SouthWingChun</title>
<!-- TemplateEndEditable --> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="description" content="UK South East Wing Chun Association.

The server sends the page as text/plain, as you can see from above. It needs to
be reconfigured to send the page as text/html. The fact that IE interprets it as
HTML is a bug in IE.

Summary: Firefox displays this .dwt file as source text rather than rendering it as a page → southwingchun.com - html file sent as text/plain
Confirmed, the problem is with the webpage itself rather than the browser.  My
apologies for wasting your time.  Thanks for such a quick turn-around.

We can leave this open as a Tech Evangelism bug. Do you think you could contact
the site admin and let him/her know that there's a problem?

Resolution: INVALID → ---
Yep, already done.  I emailed the webmaster last night.

I was thinking, perhaps we need a plug-in to emulate IE bugs :-)  It might help
bring more of the non-technical users over to firefox.
