Hi :) redhat 6.2, i686, M17 (where's the build ID indicator gone I confirm thy complaint.. and I offer explanation/testcase. mozilla is croaking trying to load the page because the author doesn't know how to write html, leaving a blank frame.

Even though it's not high profile, it still has managed to get 3 dups in the last couple weeks...
nVidia is a major graphics chip-maker, probably the biggest in volume, and the RIVA/TNT drivers are very popular. I was about to file this bug right now but searched first. http://www.nvidia.com/Products/Drivers.nsf/Linux.html loads an empty middle frame. NC4.75 loads it just fine.
Adding evangwanted as this is very bad HTML (read invalid) HTML. Messages should be sent to the wemasters of this site as well as the sites for bugs that have been marked dups of this one. Granted, Mozilla shouldn't choke on this, but it is only half the problem.
Keywords: evangwanted
Perhaps a message should also be sent to me with instructions on how to type...
The problem is not the missing </title>, insert a space before the '=' in the testcase and now neighter IE5.5 nor NS4.73 renders the page. The problem is caused by Mozilla recognizing <title=....> as a <title> tag, while other browsers do not. NS4.73 and IE5.5 skips this tag as being invalid. Adding 4xp.
