Thanks for replying John. My initial thought after reading issues 995 and 1031 is that this is closer to 1031 rather than 995, though 995 and 1031 may be slightly different manifestations of the same root problem.
The ad server will never return blanks, even if there is no ad campaign running there there are internal campaigns that always return a creative. I'm guessing that the area was blank becuase the div got spat out somewhere else on the page. I can confirm that news.com.au also uses doubleclick as the adserver, calls to the ad server return javascript fragments which inject the ad creative using document.write. The 2mdn.net domain is the image server, this is where the creatives are hosted. So the pattern of document.write usage, doubleclick adserverving and firebug script panel is apparent. I used Firebug 1.3x.0b1 and Firefox 3.3 and was able to reproduce the issue. Is there is any way I can help ? Any information you'd like me to provide ?
