[Ham-Mac] Kenwood Web Page broken for Safari

This problem was discussed at length a couple years ago on this list  
and was never fully resolved (check the archives in July and August,  
2005 and look for the thread "Safari and ARRL.org").  Most folks  
cured it by upgrading to 10.4.  The problem was not limited to  
Safari, but showed up in the various Mozilla browsers, also: Camino,  
Firefox, Netscape; IE 5 worked fine.  None of the obvious solutions  
such as clearing cache, resetting preferences, etc. seemed to work.   
My concern at the time was that if the root cause was some hidden or  
obscure preference setting in the OS, that the problem could crop up  
again in Tiger, and we're back to square one.

A few weeks ago I revisited the problem, and got a little further.   
Using Firefox, I selected View/Page Style from the menu and  
discovered two choices: "Article Style", which was the selected  
style, and "No Style".  Selecting "No Style" causes many things to  
appear, but in an unformatted and tough-to-use format.  I am very  
suspicious of a Cascading Style Sheet problem, but haven't educated  
myself enough in CSS yet to prove it one way or another.  Any experts  
out there?

Meanwhile, I purchased a new MacBook Pro with 10.4.2 loaded, and of  
course the page displays nicely.

Cheers,

Obviously it's not a Safari problem since it works on your iBook.  It  
also works fine on my Both my Mac's here.

Have you tried emptying the Safari cache on your iMac?

Safari Menu > Empty cache
