User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

I'm not sure how much of a bug this is, but this page does not work in Mozilla.
 The footnote states that the page was designed for IE, but IE on OS X will
simply not load the page AT ALL.  Mozilla loads the page, but it will not
process the javascript that is supposed to open the page for cv submission.  I
have complained to the webmaster numerous times, but it would be nice to find
out if Mozilla can be made to process the page.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to above URL, or go to sasol.com and click on careers
2.  Click to either submit a cv or to retrieve a saved cv
3.

Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
A new page is supposed to open.

weird, MSIE allows for ID shortcut without "document."
test src:

  <form id="Ya">
  <input id="Yoh" value="yeah">
  </form>
  <script>
  alert(Ya.Yoh.value);
  </script>

Indeed. I even got an email from their webmaster several months ago. Obviously,
theh haven't done squat in the interim. This is a huge, huge company, and they
have **** devlopers building their corporate site.  The remaining question, I
suppose, is should we keep this as a bug, or do we chalk it up as **** code
(on the website)? Should I change the status of the bug?
