That is not an error. Category "Minifig, Whole" is defined in the system as
a "no show" meaning that the category will not be displayed along with the
part name. In some parts you don't want to show the category or the color.
Example:
* Color: (none)
* Category ... Minifig, Whole
* Part ... Darth Vader
When dealing with parts, the engine combines the color, category and part when
displaying each item. For the above example, you wouldn't want to show "(no
color) Minifig, Whole Darth Vader". Instead you'd just want to show "Darth
Vader". Thus you select color as "not applicable", category minifig, whole
and part darth vader. The system is designed to generate the whole part
description as best as possible.
Another example:
* Color: Red
* Category: Brick, Modified
* Part: 1 x 1 with 4 side studs
Here you want to display all: Red Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with 4 side studs.
Here are some categories and whether or not they are shown with the part:
Animal (no show)
Antenna (show)
Baseplate (show)
Bracket (show)
Brick (show)
Brick, Arch (show)
Minifig, Footgear (no show)
Boat (no show) ... Example: when combining category boat with for
example "anchor", you just want to display "Anchor" instead of "Boat Anchor".

| Ah, forgot to do this: I checked the site out with MSIE 5.00. The tables are OK (as they are on Navigator). The country window does show up on MSIE. The payment checkboxes register as selections when checked on MSIE. Both of these two items do not (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
