Mozilla 1.5 on Linux [Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007]

No popups, not any icon indicating that Mozilla has blocked a popup. Banner ad at top.
That goes for both pages.


Netscape Navigator 4.72 (yes, that old). (Same platform)

Both pages blank with respectively blue and yellow backgrounds, and a white rectangle
where the banners should be. No popups


And 2 text mode browsers:

Lynx Version 2.8.4rel.1 (17 Jul 2001).   (Same platform)
Both display fine. Naturally, no banner or popups, but a text tag appears in
place of the banner:

  [tripod;kw=kele;h=misc;sz=728x90;!category=adult;!category=sexualovert
                         ones;ord=214014899819206?]
(sexual overtones? it was an ad for a history channel when I saw it.)

Otherwise fine, except that the sidebar appears at the end of the page


w3m version w3m/0.3.
No banners or popups. Text imitations of the sidebars appear fine, in the right place.
No ugly tags for the banners: instead the alt text "tripod" appears, as it should.
