Relevant JavaScript in page (this is called onchange):

function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
  var theform;
  if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("netscape") > -1) {
    theform = document.forms["Form1"];
  }
  else {
    theform = document.Form1;
  }
  theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
  theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
  theform.submit();
}

Reporter, do you know if the site has been contacted about their non-functional
menus?  If not, contact them.  If they are receptive and fix the problem, close
the bug.  If not, someone will confirm it.

I've sent an email to Skyscape, but is it an error on their part when these
menus work in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox?

The site has either been totally redesigned or this specific problem has been fixed (or both), because it all works now.
