Bob: thank you for such a well-written report. This site is using
IE-proprietary syntax that Mozilla doesn't support. Reassigning
to Tech Evangelism component so they can contact the site.

The page containing the "Here" link warns the user about this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to provide you with a rich Internet experience, Janglefish
has been optimized for Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or higher.

Please click on the link below to go to Microsoft's Internet Exporer
web site, where you can either upgrade or install the latest version.

It is still possible on some browsers to view the Janglefish player
but it is NOT recommended. If you'd like to view the player in your browser
now, click HERE.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



And sure enough, when I follow the steps to reproduce above, I see
a succession of errors in Tools > Web Development > JavaScript Console:


Error: window.showModalDialog is not a function
Source File: http://www.streamwaves.com/janglefish/frames.asp

Error: document.links is not a function

Error: document.links is not a function

Line: 48

Error: document.all has no properties

Line: 71


It is this IE-only syntax that prevents the site from working in
Mozilla or Netscape 7...

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
