On the first page at www.pluggedyouth.com it won't let you click on any of the
links and none of the mouseover's work. Then when you open up the Javascript
Console, it gives that error. I don't know, is there something wrong with the code?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the website: www.pluggedyouth.com
2.Open up the JavaScript Console
3.There it is

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens. You can't click on any of the links.

Expected Results:  
You should be able to click on the links on that page, there are some picture
links, and also some mouseover's.

I've tried this on many people's computers and for some reason it doesn't work
with Firefox. I also just upgraded to the newly released Firefox 1.0 to see if
that would fix the problem, but it didn't. By the way Firefox ROCKS!!

amazingly bad browser detection:

var ie = document.all ? 1 : 0
var ns = document.layers ? 1 : 0
if(ns){doc = "document."; sty = ""}
if(ie){doc = "document.all."; sty = ".style"}
...

function MoveToolTip(layerName, FromTop, FromLeft, e){
if(ie){
 eval(doc+layerName+sty+".top = "+(eval(FromTop) + document.body.scrollTop))
}
if(ns){
 eval(doc+layerName+sty+".top = "+eval(FromTop))
}
eval(doc + layerName + sty + ".left = " + (eval(FromLeft) + 15))}
^^^^ this line, and many lines like it will fail because nothing set doc in the
!ie/!ns path

Amazingly ugly site, too, but it doesn't do what the bug says it does any more, and no more JS Console errors either. FIXED.
