I also have display problems with ebay, but my search pages look fine.
Other than occasional missing or incomplete images, I only have
problems with the "item description/bid" page.
Some time ago, I looked at the HTML code of the pages that displayed
funny and discovered Ebay's auto-HTML coder had a couple of bugs that
gave Voyager fits: it had tables wider than 100%; and it had more
closing tags than it opened. Voyager didn't like this.
I informed ebay of this about a year ago. They fiddled with it,
correcting the tables, but never corrected the excess closing tags.
Why should they? Explorer and Netscape display just are fine.
I've also come across other web editors that write bad code. Voyager
is very strict. Plus it has more than a few bugs in the HTML
interpreter. Hopefully, 3.0 will be better.
