Hi Colin,
I tried from windows also. Firefox in windows behaves in the same way ie
the page is not rendered as html but as plain source code text. Whereas
when i went to this page from Internet explorer it was rendered properly
as html.
Thanks for the info on the other asp pages. They work perfectly in
firefox as you have written. I think it is a deliberate attempt to force
users/surfers to use the microsoft internet explorer by tweaking the
webserver for the CAg.nic.in site into behaving differently for non
microsoft browsers during the handshake process between the server and
the client.
