 <img src="/resources/img/sitestd/blau/up_double.jpg" width="20" height="19"
border="0" alt="Zur&uuml;ck"></a>
<a href="#top"><img src="/resources/img/sitestd/blau/up.jpg" width="19"
height="19" border="0" alt="Zum Seitenanfang"></a>

They use ALT attributes which are not supposed to be for popup tootlips.  There
is a bug in Explorer and Netscape 4 that does that. The correct HTML is
TITLE="popup text"

They need to fix their code.

My comment from the dupe:

[code reformatted for brevity]

var nav = (document.layers);
var iex = (document.all);

[...]

function pop(titel)
{
  var tb1 = [snip html];
  var content =[snip html];
  if (nav) {
    skn.document.write(content);
    skn.document.close();
    skn.visibility = "visible";
  } else if (iex) {
    document.all("topdeck").innerHTML = content;
    skn.visibility = "visible";
  }
}


The function pop() is called as a mouseover, and is obviously intended to show a
layer/div/whatever as a "tooltip", but it's wrecked by the bad browser sniffing
etc.  

This is actually on a different page in the same site (see bug 120998 for steps
to reproduce)

Anyone contacted them?

Might be a political issue ... ;-)

they are using an old version of hiermenus that doesnt work with positionning in
mozilla (the menus do work, but they are placed incorrectly, which make submenus
pretty unusable...)
