I don't see that link on the page.  The page does contain a function openWin,
but it takes three parameters (not one) and doesn't seem to be called anywhere.

The site defines a function called "openDialog".  Unfortunately, this function
is already defined in Mozilla and cannot be redefined....

The problem is when you click on the link generated by
document.write('<a href=javascript:openWin("phpop_201426")><font 
class="fontBottomLayerBody">BT Together</font></a>');
or any of the other links of the same type.
On the page, this appears in the box "Select the calling option that suits you 
best" with 6 buttons all called "BT Together ...(something)".
It seems to be using function openWin(contentid) - line 97 of the index.jsp 
page.

ok.  the openDialog problem remains.  at the top-right, there is supposed to be
a link "My personal links" right above "Residential Billing".  This link is
Javascript generated and comes right after the declaration of openDialog, so it
doesn't appear (and wouldn't work even if it did appear).  The uncaught
exception pertaining to openDialog still shows up on the JavaScript console.

We're changing things so openDialog will be redefinable.  Marking dup of the
relevant bug.
