------- Comment #2 from ddkilzer at webkit.org  2007-11-18 10:17 PDT -------
This issue is caused by an unclosed <iframe> tag in a document with an HTML
4.01 Transitional doctype:

  <div class="floatdiv" id="iframe_parent">
  <iframe id="scrap_extn_iframe" name="scrap_extn_iframe" src=""/>
  <!--[if lte IE 7.0]><iframe></iframe><![endif]-->
  </div>

Both Safari 2, Safari 3, ToT WebKit and Opera 9.24/9.50b leave the rest of the
page blank because their parsers are looking for an </iframe> closing tag.

Firefox 2.0.0.9 and 3.0b2pre (Nov 18, 2007) both apparently find the </iframe>
within the comment (per the coloration of their View Source window), which is
highly suspect as well, but makes the page work for Firefox.

MSIE 7 apparently recognizes the self-closing <iframe/> tag (even though the
document isn't XHTML), and of course parses the an additional <iframe></iframe>
tags inside the VBScript.

Best fix would be to have Google fix the self-closing iframe to:

  <iframe id="scrap_extn_iframe" name="scrap_extn_iframe" src=""></iframe>

Marking this as an evangelism bug due to the above analysis.
