Details

The second paragraph is supposed to include a star1.gif and a boldface word "Buy" in the middle of one of the sentences. Compare the sentence in two different browsers: Mozilla M6: "My ratings are based on ..." IE4 and IE5: "My *Buy ratings are based on ..."
FYI: Page loads correctly from the hard drive but is problematic when loaded over the network.

Agreed -- please verify if its in the parser by dumping the parsers input to a text stream an checking it. If we're not getting it, then we have a netlib bug.
The problem seems to be on the server side!!! If you viewsource the page in Nav4.5 or IE5.0, the paragraph that contains the image (*Buy) has a mark up My <SPAN CLASS=smallfont> <IMG SRC=/inc/images/star1.gif WIDTH=10 HEIGHT=10 SPACE=0 BORDER=0>Buy </SPAN> ratings but in Gecko it is My <FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetiva" SIZE=1> <B> <STYLE FONT: 8pt/10pt> <IMG SRC=/inc/images/star1.gif WIDTH=10 HEIGHT=10 VSPACE=0 BORDER=0> Buy </STYLE> </B> </FONT> ratings Note: This how the mark up looked when I checked the raw buffer ( buffer prior to entering NetLib)
Depends on: 3688
This is the now age-old client sniffing problem. The server is sending crappy HTML to poor Gecko, that's why it lookd fine when loaded 'from the drive'. There are a couple of other bugs on this page that are results of the same problem. Check out bug 3688
