Yep, a call to a javascript include, even with a blank link, will kill it. Its late here, so my memory may be faulty, but I beleive the idea is it gives the browser something to do (trying to work out the script) instead of displaying the HTML while the CSS loads. Errrr, correction - thats what the site author has to do. I don't believe the visitor can fix it if they find a site demonstrating it.
