No spare battery on www.astak.com

Now looking at the page source I can see the code for the batteries (as well as for the ability to enter a coupon code), though those lines are ignored and are wrapped in the following line of code;

at ether end of the block of relevant code. Now this page is just .asp, no flash at all. I am not a .asp code monkey so unfortunately I can't narrow down the problem much further with the code. This is only one page, and with the entire astak website written in .asp I am sure there'd be more information not displayed to FF users.

Robert, something else you can pass on to the web site guru is;

This problem I have been experiencing seems to be associated (with my few tests) with web browsers using the Gecko engine (Firefox, Netscape). Webkit-based browsers (such as Midori - Safari on the Mac *may* be the same) doesn't appear to have this problem.
Dear Solicitous:

Due to an explosion of a battery that Sony shipped, it is VERY hard to ship batteries internationally now. That incident, and the terorist threat, are making it hard.

Email to Elliott at: support@astak.com and he can get one out to you.

I am very sorry for the hassle; but anything with a battery now draws a strong third look.
