Thanks for the bug report :)

I have commented out the offending code (the drop down). Michael or myself 
will take a look at it later on to put it right. It looks like a bug in the 
string manipulation used to grab the list of UKTeam pages from the Ubuntu 
Wiki which screws up the generated html.

Whilst I appreciate that not fully testing in all the standard browsers 
delivered with Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/etc was somewhat remiss of us, there 
was no malicious intent, and you'll note the problem has been worked out 
rapidly.

I now have konq installed locally on my Ubuntu system so that I can further 
test.

Cheers,
Al.
