-->TE
the problem is this code here in line 594:
    if (navigator.appName=='Netscape') {document.write(unescape(newText));
document.close();}
this also catches Mozilla and Netscape 6/7, but this code was written for
Netscape 4. As far as i see this 
if (navigator.appName=='Netscape')
needs to be replaced with 
if (document.layers)
because Mozilla/N6/N7 supports the innerHTML method in line 595. 
Someone needs to find out a contact adress and write a mail to them (prefered in
Turkish language) and point them to the fix..
