On page load the JS console says:
Error: layersAll has no properties
Source File: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/store_doc/js/layerobj.js
Line: 44

It seems that the function LayerObj() only handles IE of NS4:
	var layersAll = null;
	
	if(UA.NS) layersAll = document.layers; // NS4 only collection
	if(UA.IE) layersAll = document.all; // IE4/5 only collection
