Interactive map on lodzkie.pl uses document.all and document.layers instead of
W3C DOM getElementById()/getElementsByTagName() methods. This makes that map
unusable in standards compliant browsers.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.lodzkie.pl/szablon.php?key[0]=glowna&key[1]=mapai
2. Hover an area on the map

Actual Results:  
The pop-up div isn't shown after (2), so you cannot click it.

Expected Results:  
Show the pop-up div after (2) and allow to click its content (links to some
local governmental institutions in the Province of Lodz and/or link to a more
detailed map).

The page no longer exists. The Lodzkie.PL website does not use proprietary js at
the moment.

The maps have been moved to a different server and where replaced with MapGuide
(application/x-mwf) versions.

AFAIK there's a plugin for this for Windows, Mac OS and Solaris versions of
Netscape and Mozilla. Linux users will have problem, though...

If my asumption about the existence of the plugin is wrong, please reopen.
