Details
Go to the URL shown above (sorry, Netscape internal for now), and click on the
link that says "ncr" at the bottom. This brings up an HTML form on the right,
but some of the numeric character references (NCRs) do not display correctly
in the form widgets. Compare this with the Netscape 4.5 browser.
Also, the form is truncated at the bottom. There are supposed to be widgets
after the keygen element.
This page is written to use the Traditional Chinese character set. This leads me
to ask three questions: a) should I edit the prefs.js file to use a Trad Chinese
font, and b) we already have a bug about non-Western encodings not being
displayed in widgets on forms using Japanese - is this the same problem or a new
one? - and c) this page does NOT display correctly in IE 4 using Traditional
Chinese encodings and fonts. Is anyone sure that the page is well-formed?

Answers to cpratt's questions above:
a) No, you don't need to edit prefs.js to set fonts any more.
b) No, this bug seems to have something to do with NCRs (numeric char refs).
c) The page displays correctly in Netscape 4.5, and I'm sure it's well-formed.

It looks like that one has been fixed while I was away.
The page looks correct in the 1999092208 build of apprunner on Windows 98. (I
compared it to IE5 and it's identical; guess MS fixed their problem in the
meantime.)
