I am having a problem with Mozilla, Netscape, and FireBird browsers on pages that use
the validator JavaScript. It seems that the browsers "choke" on all that
script and end up displaying the script instead of the page content (
even though the script is guarded by the HTML comments) about 80% of the time.
Please see: http://www.bulliondirect.com/catalog/showProducts.do?category=1
When I have a garbled page, I look at the page source, and the source looks fine.
The page validates as HTML 4.01 Transitional compliant via:
http://validator.w3.org/file-upload.html
http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html
The only way I can get it to display correctly, is to keep hitting reload
until it renders correctly, but the page source is always the same by file comparison.
If you File->Save a garbled page, and load it from file, it renders correctly.
IE does not have this problem, and I cannot find any evidence that any one else
has ever experienced this either. What makes our pages a special case?
I know all the affected browsers are related in some way, do they share some sort
of common bug (In Gecko I presume)?
Can anyone confirm they see what I see? Anyone have a similar experience?
BugZilla (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/) is rather difficult for me to use, so I
haven't been able to use it well enough to find reports of this.
