When I click on "Teilprojekt" in Mozilla, I get this error in
Tools > Web Development > JavaScript Console:

        Error: document.all has no properties
        Source File: http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/%7Esfb537/layer.js
        Line: 33

If we look at view-source:http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/%7Esfb537/layer.js, 
we see the browser-sniffing is insufficient:

                      if (document.layers){
                          ns = 1; ie = 0; 
                      } else {
                          ns = 0; ie = 1;
                      }


Since Mozilla does not support |document.layers| (as NN4.x did),
nor |document.all| (as IE does), this leads to the trouble.

Reassigning to Tech Evangelism, so the site can be contacted -

Not sure whether this is a duplicate: the Javascript menus at www.atril.com/en
fail to show in the left frame.  I don't see an if/else statement, though.  Same
problem  at www.atril.com/de, www.atril.com/fr, etc.  The menu bars appear in
Opera 6.0 and IE 5.5 and 6.0.

Seems like something has changed here - the javascript mentioned in comment #1
is a 404, but the left frame works without problems.
