The Vodafone image does not load because it uses backslash in the URL:
src="images\Login-vodafone__02.jpg"

Same for the My Vodafone image below it (inside the iframe).
src="images\Login_page_01.gif"

In the iframe:
http://myvodafone.vodafone.in/NWSS-Project-context-root/NwssLoginJsp.jsp?Circle=0003

There are these errors:
Warning: Non-standard document.all property was used. Use W3C standard document.getElementById() instead.
Source File: http://myvodafone.vodafone.in/NWSS-Project-context-root/NwssLoginJsp.jsp?Circle=0003
Line: 66
Error: frame is undefined
Source File: http://myvodafone.vodafone.in/NWSS-Project-context-root/NwssLoginJsp.jsp?Circle=0003
Line: 67

which is why frame.style.height="300" fails.
This why the iframe is only 150px high in Firefox and its content
is clipped to that height.

The errors are in the page, not in Firefox.

I got your reply regarding the use of backslashes. But the thing is how does the page open fine on internet explorer? how does it resolve the same problem?

Because IE completely disregards lots of standards that say the backslash character is not a valid path delimiter in HTML.

Why was this marked FIXED? The backslashes are most definitely still present, and Vodafone has not fixed anything.

I thought it was resolved for me that the problem was with vodafone and not with firefox. But you are right. So I submitted a feedback to them regarding the same. Let's see what they do to resolve the issue.
