During site construction I observed that the same javascript, on the same page
runs wrong if the html page is not in english. I intend the code in the first
line     of the code "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN">"
See the examples I uploaded here:
http://andyice2.altervista.org/mozilla/en.htm      right
http://andyice2.altervista.org/mozilla/it.htm      wrong



Reproducible: Always

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 
Transitional//IT"> is invalid HTML. Those only gives the language of the Markup (never used in 
real-live). If you want to mark a website as being Italian, write <html lang="it">.
