Bit of a surprise this one, I'm trying to access data from the just-released World Development Indicators 2006 report and haven't had much luck. Just curious if anyone else can access the data from the World bank here.

So far I haven't been able to display the data correctly. In Firefox 1.08 it comes out all jumbled together.

In 1.5 the data is slightly better but it's all compacted at the top of the screen.

In Opera 9 the data is displayed correctly but there's no way to scroll down past Bolivia. ](*,)

Seems like either my browsers aren't configured properly or the World Bank doesn't like Linux.
Could someone else try to access the data to confirm?
