hello folks!

I have a problem in opening yahoo homepage at www.yahoo.com, it displays garbled text and other unknown characters. Though, this is not always happening. Sometimes the page displays correct but sometimes it displays bad. I use both ie and firefox, it also happen in firefox.

Hope u can help me, thanks!

Check to see if JavaScript is enabled.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe there is some HTML tag issue with this one site. Netscape has always been pretty sensitive to having the proper HTML tags.
You may want to try slightly changing the layout on your page and saving and see if maybe that fixes it. Then you could try setting it back and see what happens.

I get exactly the same. There is no pattern to when it occurs and if I refresh enough times it works. I have JavaScript.

I have exactly the same issue(all garbled characters displayed) when pulling any pages from the search engines such as www.yahoo.com, google.com, excite.com, or msn.com. Without the prefix 'www' I got an error message 'Internet Explorer cannot download...". IE is the only browser I use. I have JavaScript enabled. Any help would be appreciated.
