That's because it is using proprietary scripts (document.all).  If you'll
notice, it doesn't show up properly in NS4 either.  Recommend INVALID.

document.all => evangelism, reporter please help us evangelize against 
document.all

All Evangelism Bugs are now in the Product Tech Evangelism. See bug 86997 for
details.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

They misuse <map> as well...

Comment 12

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

from http://www.w3schools.com/html/attr_map.asp (found in bug 101309):

they use <map id="">, not name=""

Comment 13

[Zach Lipton [:zach]]

Mass reassign of all tech-evangelism us general bugs assigned to bc to 
doron except bc's P1 bugs. You may search for this mass reassign (it is 
305 bugs) by searching for the keyword 'greeneggsandham'

[R.K.Aa.]

The behaviour may have changed. Testing with a current build, Linux:

There's a pic of a phone on the page, but it has the same size in MSIE as in
Mozilla. WFM.

Comment 15

[Bob Clary [:bc] (inactive)]

the wap demo contains a message that it requires IE 5.0
attempting to run the demo gives 
Error: fileselect is not defined
when attempting to select a wap file.

Comment 16

[Frankie]

The page calls the function "fileselect" written in VBScript

Did anyone ever contact the W3Schools folks about this? It's still a problem, though I'm not sure if it's really relevant :-p

Comment 19

[Christopher Lynch [:Christopher]]

The picture is off to the side for me - where it should be.

Have they been contacted?
Does anyone see this error anymore?

Yeah, this looks FIXED in a recent Camino nightly, too. At least, I can use it the way I think it's intended to be used and I don't see anything like comment 0 describes.
