In the page at http://www.emhart-vic.com/emhart/htm/default.asp a popup does not
appear when the mouse is positioned over the globe illustrated on the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open page http://www.emhart-vic.com/emhart/htm/default.asp
2.Move mouse so that cursor is over globe (or until "javascript(0)" is indicated
in bottom bar of browser.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happened.

Expected Results:  
A position-dependent popup window/"text bubble" should have appeared.

The java Console shows:
Error:  document.all has no properties
at the above website and indicates the problem is on line 90.

The javascript in question appears to have been created automatically by
"Adobe(R) ImageStyler(TM) 1.0" and may be non-compliant with standards.

The popup window, however, did appear with Netscape 4.79 for Linux. It also
works with IE6/Win2k.

This isn't a bug in mozilla, but a bug in the site's javascript sniffer code...

  if(IsNN4 == true)
  {
    arrPop[0] = document.popup1;  
  }
  else
  {
    arrPop[0] = document.all.popup1;
  }

the abridged code snippet above shows the page only accounts for 2 browsers -
NN4's DOM & anything that follows IE's proprietary DOM.
