It is not a pretty site, but it doesn't look completely corrupt.
Perhaps you could take a screenshot so we can compare?

Wasn't hard to see the problem:p

The site is using some really old javascripts and bad/ugly code all over. Some of those javascripts is part of a so called "content management system" - looks old. The site uses javascript to identify browser and the browsers window size in order to adjust its appearance. Clearly this is a baaaad idea...

So, since the site is old as the sun, we shouldn't be too concerned about this. I guess this bug could be closed, but since i am not 100, I'll let it stay open. If it really is a bug, it will show up later on anyway...

Workaround: Get the people behind the site to upgrade to a real CMS, hire a web designer and adjust code to W3C standard.

We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Yes - still an issue, but not a major one.
Otherwise the 8.04 with Firefox 3.0.5 works ok, so I do not plan to try the latest release in the near future.

I see similar problems with the stated website in Maverick 10.10, but I don't think this is a bug by any means, but as above, rather bad web design. Have you noticed this with any other websites that use similar formats/layouts?
