The layout is extremely fragile. It uses a bunch of breaks to ensure
that the body text does not run into the black banner. But due to an
CSS error, when the page is rendered in Firefox, the black banner ran
into the top navigation bar and search box. IE's error handling did
not screw up the layout.

BTW, according to:

when feeding malformed html pages to various browsers...
