Don't panic.
Try turning off either java or javascript (or both) and then seeing
what happens.
I've come across more than one web page that has been produced by
micro$oft products that contains javascript that does silly and
unnecessary things if the client isn't also a micro$oft product. Sad,
but true.
I've included an example below here (taken from some pages of a
commercial web site that netscape had no problems rendering). I'm
amazed that people put up with this sort of stuff - although many
probably don't even know that it's there.
However, if this isn't your problem and it is the proxy, then this is
very ugly. I'd be interested in the details and the solution. (And
probably not in redhat-devel list... seems not to be so appropriate to
discuss this here).
Cheers
Tony
