function BrowserCheck() {
	var b = navigator.appName
	if (b=="Netscape") this.b = "ns"
	else if (b=="Microsoft Internet Explorer") this.b = "ie"
	else this.b = b
	this.version = navigator.appVersion
	this.v = parseInt(this.version)
	this.ns = (this.b=="ns" && this.v>=4)
	this.ns4 = (this.b=="ns" && this.v==4)
	this.ns5 = (this.b=="ns" && this.v==5)
	this.ie = (this.b=="ie" && this.v>=4)
	this.ie4 = (this.version.indexOf('MSIE 4')>0)
	this.ie5 = (this.version.indexOf('MSIE 5')>0)
	this.min = (this.ns||this.ie)
}

This browser check will never detect Mozilla, so the script that drives the
page's functionalty does nothing in Mozilla.

You should write the site and ask them to fix the script.
