try http://www.olympic.org/uk/index_uk.asp that works for me.



i think it is most like the web servers fault. when a webserver send
you a file (like a webpage) it should put a mime type in the http
header. this tells the browser what to do with the page. compare the
"type" field on the tools->page info in firefox. the bad pages have
been sent as "text/plain" instead of "text/html"



i guess that internet explorer is less fussy about mime types for web
pages. so the developers have not noticed. you should probaly email
them and tell them. see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257412 for similar
example.
