There is probably an evangelism issue at:

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

but surely, the behaviour of your page is BY DESIGN? Unless I am
missing something, there is no bug here: Firefox is executing the
javascript embedded in the page!

Note to webmaster: 
document.all is proprietary and ONLY for IE4. For all newer version of Internet
Explorer and any other browser after 1998 the World Wide Web consortium approved
document.GetElementById should be used.
