User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; FunWebProducts; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) 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. Class Details, Codes of Practice, & Wing Chun History."> <meta name="keywords" content="wing chun , kung fu , martial arts , essex , grand master , yip man , a.m.a , uk , london , south east , kuoshu "> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- . . .
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 17:20:14 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 Last-Modified: Fri, 18 Feb 2005 11:13:05 GMT ETag: "cec084-24e4-4215cdc1" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 9444 Connection: close Content-Type: text/plain 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.

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?

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.
