You are right, it does! The rest of the HTML is ok, though.

IE tries hard(er) to interpret whatever it finds as HTML, and it
managed to show me the entire site. Perhaps your browser is too
prudent (or does it lack fortitude, I'm not sure :-).

Which brings us back, in a most bizarre way, to the original "Losing the
Browser War" subject, doesn't it?

Cute, but the first URL's HTML is hopelessly mangled (the file starts
with:<!-- t-shirt order# = 25-1008, a comment). My HTML validator
(Netscape 4.76) shows only the logo bar. The second worked fine.
