Confirming.
They are using old and no w3c compliant javascript code, generated by golive.

Have a fix.
in http://www.pakketrans.dk/pakketrans.asp,
They need to add the following function in their js code :

function IsDOM() { return (document.getElementById) }
function CSDOMStyl(s) { return document.getElementById(s).style; }

Then they need to modify the following functions like this :
function CSSetStyleVis(s,v)
{ 
  if (IsDOM()) CSDOMStyl(s).visibility = (v == 0) ? "hidden" : "visible";
  else if (IsIE()) CSIEStyl(s).visibility = (v == 0) ? "hidden" : "visible";
  else CSNSStyl(s).visibility = (v == 0) ? 'hide' : 'show';
}

function CSGetStyleVis(s)
{
  if (IsDOM()) return (CSDOMStyl(s).visibility == "hidden") ? 0 : 1;
  else  if (IsIE()) return (CSIEStyl(s).visibility == "hidden") ? 0 : 1;
  else return (CSNSStyl(s).visibility == 'hide') ? 0 : 1;
}

.

Thanks :-)

I'll report the fix to their IT-department first thing tomorrow !!!

The story is:
They paid a webdesign bureau to do their pages.
The daily maintance is done by their IT-department.
They were aware of the Mozilla/Netscape 6 problem, but the webdesign bureau
would charge them an obscene amount of money to do the fix.

Thus, they have been very happy indeed to have gotten the fix here and have
expressed their thanks to me in a private email.

On their behalf, I'll extend the thanks to all of you here.

The fix has been implemented.
tested and works with 
-- LinuxPPC 2002041723
-- Konqueror under KDE 3.0
