This is a new behavior with the latest version of Firefox. It used to work fine. There is no such problem in IE. The workaround is to have the script output "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">" as the fist line, then FireFox displays it fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to link above 2. 3. Actual Results: see screenshot: http://www.hybrids-plus.com/misc/dialog.jpg Expected Results: podcast.py - start podcast.py - done
