From http://www.idg.se/idgse/toppmeny/idgse_meny_all.js loaded from this page:

[...]
parent.meny1.document.all["mn" + num].style.visibility = "hidden";
[...]

Netscape 4.76 does not work either. Might a Tech Evangelism issue.

Confirming.  They are able to avoid JS console errors by enclosing their code in
blocks of: 

if (typeof(MSIE stuff) != 'undefined') { // only true in MSIE
   do MSIE stuff
}

which really is great coding practice, but bad as far as only letting IE users
view the site.  Odd to see someone go to the trouble of avoiding JS warnings and
errors on a platform while at the same time excluding it...

I e-mailed Lottica about this yesterday, and she put me in touch with the people
who work with this. That person told me that it was known that this menu only
works in Internet Explorer, and that they aim to replace it with one that works
with Netscape 4, 6 and Opera as soon as the 1st of February.

Setting Target Milestone accordingly.

The new top menu is done, but since it is done in a different way than the old
one it will take some extra time to integrate it on the page. They sound very
comitted into fixing this very soon.

I have a good contact at idg.se so I can take this bug.

Comment 11

[André Dahlqvist]

On the main site idg.se and on the news site which is in question here they have
a new menu at the top that works with mozilla. It seams however that old stories
 (such as the one in the URL above) will not get this menu. I suggest that we
mark this one FIXED, since they really have fixed this for future articles.
