Quickly looking at your page it seems to WFM. Could it be platform or
OS specific? Do you have Javascript enabled?

Javascript is enabled.

The page works fine on Windows so its 
definitely platform specific.

I am using SunOS 2.8 OS
Perhaps the funcitonality is dependant on some SUN patch ?

Check whether the page sends the same content on Windows and on Solaris?

Yackov: does the server send the same content to Windows and Solaris?

I have checked and indeed it seems that the content is different.
In fact, on nt there is some extra javascript code for onmouse events
that shows the menus and it is missing on unix page.
It looks that this is the reason for the problem.
I'll try and check whether adding the extra code for unix page
solves this.

FWIW: the page works on MAC OS X
