This is a real common problem. Basically it boils down to poorly written code. Here is why (be prepared for boring techo geek reading).
All or most web pages use tables in the layout of the page. Which has to start off with the <TABLE> tag In between are the <TR> & <TD> tags (and associated closing tags). When you are done defining a table, each <TABLE> tag has to be closed off with a "required" closing tag of </TABLE>. That basically tells the browser to start displaying the table. Browsers ARE NOT supposed to display anything on a page from that point onward until it sees the closing </TABLE> tag.
In this auction, looks the seller inadvertently forgot to put in the "required" closing tag. That is why everything from that point onwards is not displayed. BTW, on any web page, there can be more than one table, they can follow one after another or be nested within another table. In this auction there were 17 tables. Which meant, there should be 17 beginning <TABLE> tags and 17 closing </TABLE> tags. Guess what?? Only 16 closing tags were found.
So why did it work in IE and not in Netscape? IE is somewhat more forgiving in recognizing poorly written code. Netscape was playing by the rules, which meant not displaying things when not supposed to.
Happy (or bored now)? That will teach you to ask nerdy techy questions.(g)
