A good test is whether that browser can view a variety of other sites. If

so, then you can test the JS/HTML for the particular page that's balking.

If not, then checking into the browser's plugin would be fruitful.


(Running with the new IE4.5/Mac is on my plate, but I haven't yet got it on

my own machines, regrets.)


Sidenote: The NOSCRIPT and NOEMBED tags should only be rendered if the

browser is incapable of using scripts or embeds... modern browsers are able

to use scripts and embeds, and so modern browsers will ignore content

within NOSCRIPT and NOEMBED tags.

   (Rephrased, those tags are not invoked just because a particular plugin

is not installed.)
