if you save the URL locally and remove the script tags the page lays out
correctly.  I changed the summary to reflect this.

Ack! This page uses CSS positioned elements, but accesses them using the
document.layers array. Troy, we might be able to get away with not supporting
the LAYER tag, but we're going to have to bend over backwards to do the right
thing w.r.t. the DOM.

Moving all [LAYER] bugs to Evangelism component for tracking and open-source
evangelism by mozilla community members of sites that need to upgrade to support 
web standards such as HTML 4.0 (instead of LAYER/ILAYER) and the W3C DOM
(instead of Nav4 document.layers[] or IE document.all()). Sites should be
lobbied to do the upgrade using the email templates that are linked to from
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html#layerbugs . When a site's owner
has confirmed receipt of the message requesting an upgrade, the bug should be
marked with the keyword evangelized to indicate that evangelism for that bug is
complete. When the site finishes the upgrade and supports standards, the bug
should be closed.
