And this guy tried to access the site with javascript disabled (my
default) and saw a white screen and then enabled javascript and saw a
functioning website. Occam's razor suggests javascript as the factor,
and I would further suggest that the OP needs to investigate javascript
and determine whether or not they have it disabled (by default).
Furthermore in this case I didn't change my user agent string, so as
stated, it's a totally different cause for sure.
