Description

[Andreas Sabisch]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.5 [de]C-CCK-MCD   (WinNT; I)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425; But also Mozilla Version 1.1 german

On the site http://www.fu-berlin.de/summeruniversity/ the link at the top of the 
site, for Examples courses, program etc. doesn't work. With old versions of 
Netscape (4.5) you get a new site instead the welcome site at the main frame in 
the middle. Mozilla 1.1 and 1.3 show nothing, in the status line of the Browser 
you see javascript:void(null).
The site is created with frames and many javascript.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Call the URL http://www.fu-berlin.de/summeruniversity/
2. click on one of the LInks at the top, for Example courses
3. nothing happens.

Actual Results:  
nothing with Mozilla 1.1 and 1.3


Expected Results:  
Show the new site in the middle frame with the information about courses, 
program etc., similar to other Browsers.

This is a site issue, not a Mozilla bug.  The error is "layerRef is undefined"
(find by typing javascript: in the URL box).  Here's the JS code:

// init()
if (document.layers) {
	layerRef="document.layers";
	...
}
else if(document.all){
	layerRef="document.all";
	...
}

Since Mozilla has neither, layerRef is never defined.

this has been fixed and now works for me, see
http://www.fu-berlin.de/summeruniversity/s1/index_en.html for a example page,
since the mainpage doesn't include a navigation bar anymore.
