This doesn't sound like a FH bug at all. Moving over to General.

From: http://intranet.westminster.org.uk/includes/javascript/main.js

var oContent = document.all.item(id+"Content");
if (!oContent) return;

-> Tech Evang.

Changing the relevant lines in main.js, from this:

var oContent = document.all.item(id+"Content");

To this, will make the page work cross-platform:

var oContent = document.getElementById(id+"Content");

Reporter, perhaps you could contact the webmaster and point them to this bug report.
