[LINK] NSW IT Ministers fight it out, 21 February, Sydney

[Ivan Trundle]

The page is riddled with html coding errors, but none are major (a  
tag left open, no doc-type, usual motley collection of Microsoft-only  
tags, etc).

But it's the 'State Plan' image that foxes Firefox.

Safari, IE (Mac and Windows), etc all force the 'news' table cell to  
the width of the image. Firefox obviously doesn't.

The site maintainers are stuck in a 20th Century time-warp, judging  
by the browsers that they support.

You'd think that with an election around the corner, some-one would  
open a wallet and pay for the site to be dragged into the 21st Century.
