Everytime I select a menu item inside the form and click the "Go" image...
nothing happens.

Here's a piece of the page code:

<!-- begin genre selection pull down -->
<div class="browse">
<form name="genre"
action="javascript:go_page(genre.url[genre.url.selectedIndex].value)">
<table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0><tr><td colspan=2 align=center>
<b>Choose a genre keyword:</b>
</td></tr><tr><td>
<select name="url">

 <option value="genre_1.html">Action</option>&nbsp;
*** MORE OPTIONS ON ACTUAL PAGE ***
 <option value="genre_11.html">Wrestling</option>&nbsp;

</select></td><td>&nbsp;<input type="image"
src="http://cubemedia.ign.com/cube/image/go.gif" width="38" height="24">
</td></tr></table>
</form>
</div>

<!-- end genre selection pull down -->
Same bug on w2k (build 2002082604).
The page uses IE-only syntax... it should use "document.genre", not just "genre".

Do we absolutely want to force web designers to rewrite this sort of code?
Apple's Safari 1.0 beta2 manages to web pages on the cube.ign.com site
that only have the genre instead of document.genre which I assume implies
Konqueror does the same!
