The KPMG website does not render properly.

The Build ID i am using is 2001060120.
Could you be a little more specific? What renders wrong?  Screenshots would be 
nice.

This would be especially helpful because the site in question times out for me 
when I try to access it.
When I enter http://www.kpmg.com, only the menus appear(HOME, GLOBAL SERVICES, 
ABOUT KPMG...etc) But there is no content however. In fact, none of the 
javascript works correctly either. For instance, the menu scroller. (the yellow 
rectangle which follows the mouse when you go over the menu.) Can anyone 
reproduce this?

If you scroll down you will see the content. The site is using "client sniffing"
and feeds Mozilla content that has <LAYER> elements. If you look at the
content that is fed to IE it's using absolutly positioned <DIV>s instead.
This is a site problem - not a bug in Mozilla.

Just thought I'd add, as of today with the RC3 build (2002052306), www.kpmg.com
looks severely bad - :-( .  Fully none of the page is rendered properly -- looks
awful.  
This also affects the regional site kpmg.ca, and others I presume.
I hacked together a fix in about 2.5 hours; it can be found at 
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/fixed/kpmg/index.html .  I didn't adjust the 
scrolling speed of any dynamic elements, so it does show the 
sluggishness of Mozilla at DHTML.  But the page renders "correctly" and 
acts as expected.  I'll be contacting them shortly with the same 
information.
Just a note that KPMG Consulting is now known as BearingPoint, and as such has a
new web presence: http://www.bearingpoint.com/index.asp

I'm guessing that the old domain of http://www.kpmg.com will use a META 302
redirect into the new URL.

The new site appears to work fine with Moz, though I haven't compared its DHTML
with IE.

Notice how the javascript menus are included in the main page

    
    

    
  
www.kpmg.com have updated their site and it doesnt seem to render at all in
Mozilla. I get a blank page and nothing else. Can anyone else confirm this?

NB: KPMG is a seperate company than BearingPoint

    
    

    
  
(In reply to comment #23)

I also get a blank page on Firefox-trunk and Netscape 7.1.


    
    

    
  
Me, too. kpmg.com does not render at all in Firefox 0.9

    
    

    
  
Still broken. It appears to do server-side browser sniffing and links a
different JavaScript depending on the user agent... except that the script it
links for Mozilla, /scriptlib/gk.js, doesn't actually exist. Ooops.

    
    

    
  
sent them an email+screenshot to webmaster@

Currently, we only support Internet Explorer versions 5.5 and 6.0.
Thank you for your interest in KPMG and for your Service Inquiry.

This looks pretty much fixed in both Firefox 2 and Camino-trunk these days. I don't have WinIE around for comparison, but the site isn't really what I would call "broken" either.

    
    

    
  
I didn't look too close but the homepage includes object based detection and it appears ok with Firefox and BonEcho ua. -> FIXED. Thanks Chris.
