User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030109

Near top right of this web-page, which shows concert programmes at London's
Wigmore Hall, you will find <<2002>>. The programmes displayed on the left are,
in fact, those for 2003 (and the month-selector works correctly). Clicking
either << or >> does correctly move the programme display to 2002 or 2004, but
the year-indicator near top right remains at 2002, which is very confusing.

The same happens with Netscape 4.79, but with Internet Explorer 5 the display
changes to show the correct year.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open web-page as per above URL.
2. Locate year-indicator near top right, showing <<2002>>.
3. Click << or >>.

Actual Results:  
The year-indicator shows 2002 instead of 2003, and does not change when the
arrows are clicked. (The actual programmes shown on the left initially show the
2003 programmes, and do change when the arrows are clicked.)

Expected Results:  
The year should show 2003, but should change to 2002 or 2004 if the arrows are
clicked.

Mac G3 (old beige tower).OS 9.2.2. Modern theme.

This page don't work under IE 6.0, even more, I think this behaviour is desired
by webmaster. There is absolutely no code, wich could switch year. I think this
string do it before, but it is commented

//		document.all.ActiveYear.innerText = LiteralYear;

(note, that correct one should be
document.getElementById("ActiveYear").innerText = LiteralYear;)

Ah, but it DOES work in IE 5.1.6 (Mac version); and it is obvious that it IS
intended to work, because no concert promoter or venue is going to deliberately
confuse and deter prospective customers.

I don't see that it is worked on IE 5.0 under Win XP. Are you sure, that you
look into current page version? In one I look into, year COULD NOT be changed.
Maybe it is some IE under Mac bug, wich allow to run commented strings. Anyway,
this script is buggie, and almost every win browers could not do proposet stuff.

I have IE 5.1.6, Mac version, on a Mac G3 with OS 9.2.2 and it works perfectly
well. I certainly looked at the current page – I only went to the web-site this
afternoon!

Same problem in any Netscape-ish browser on Win98.

They just need to change one line of javascript in
