Also is it just this page that does not display? Or much of the site, resulting in those on browsers other than IE not shopping there. That would mean descriminating against about 15% of the web population.
It is almost certainly not just that page, but we were looking for a particular cake so I didn't stray very far around the site. Besides, it was late last night and I was getting fed up having to ctrl+alt+del all the time to force quit Firefox.

It does only seem to affect http://www2.marksandspencer.com/foodmagazine/ though - that part of the site has a couple of subtle design differences that suggest it's been subcontracted for someone else to produce for them and then fit back into the overall M&S online presence. I don't think they did a very thorough job.
