When viewing the site listed above, the site contents will be displayed twice in the browser window. I navigated to the URL listed above. When I arrrived the site showed up twice in the browser window. One instance of the site was in the top of the window and if I scrolled down there was a second instance of the site. The links in both "sites" worked fine. The ad banner only worked in the upper "site" but was blank in the second "site". Using a link from the second "site" did not create a problem and no other pages in the site showed a similar behavior. Using build 1999050423 (May 5) on May 21,1999 14:01

Some notes: 1) The duplicate content is caused by '<script> inside the <body>' (bug #2701) Attaching a 'patched' version of the same content; moved the <style> into the <head> (where it _must_ be, but what can you do ;). 2) The attached file's layout is still not entirely correct, because the content uses 'document.layers' in javascript (no actual LAYER tags are in the HTML). (somewhat like bug #3996 but clearly part of the whole LAYER/document.layer issue). 3) msnbc.com sends out HTML customized by Nav/MSIE and version. The HTML sent to Mozilla/5.0 is the same as the HTML sent to Mozilla/3.0 (I faked a script to check this). CC:ing ekrock so he is aware of another site to pester ;)
Yup -- this is a dup of 2701. I'll look a bit deeper though. Here's the minimum case: <HTML><BODY> <TABLE border=1> <TR><TD>cell</TD></TR> </TABLE> <style><!-- td {background-color:red;} --></style> </BODY></HTML>

Significant amount of work needs to be done in the content sink to avert bugs like this. Assigning bug to peterl@netscape.com

Took self off cc: list for this. Created new bug report #10451 to remind me to evangelize msnbc about useragent sniffing. Thanks!

Moving all content sink issues to M14.
Make that M14.
Thanks for taking this Vidur. Many of these are likely dups. I haven't marked them as such to make sure I had the testcases handy...
