Camino can't exchange foreign currency in Aftenposten.no (big, Norwegian
newspaper) JavaScript based foreign currency exchanger. Output field remains
empty while other browsers provaile the exchanged value in the output field as
you type. If you hit the "kalkuler beløp!" button (calculate amount) nothing
happend then either.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to < http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/okonomi/valutakalkulator/ >.
2. In the field labeled "Beløp som skal veksles" (amount to be exchanged) with
default value "100" type in any number or keep the default value. ( the fields
for valuta (USD, NOK, SEK etc.) don't need to be changed. If you change, nothing
will happen any way) 
3. Hit "kalkuler beløp!" button (calculate amount)

Actual Results:  
Nothing. Nothing happends at all.

Expected Results:  
The JavaScript based foreign exchange should have exchanged the value and put
the exchanged value in the field marked "vekslet beløp". In some other browsers,
you don't need to hit the "kalkuler beløp!" button, but the amount wil be
exchanged at once.

This doesn't work in 2005032408 (v0.8+) or in Firefox.

So it's a either a core bug or an evangelism one, but my Norwegian is rusty :-)
and the page source could use a pretty-printer, so I can't tell for sure which...

After loading JS console and URL, I just clicked the button 'kalkuler belop!' to
calculate the predefined values, and got this error:

Error: USD is not defined
Source File: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/okonomi/valutakalkulator/
Line: 62

Second try: I changed amount from 100 to 200, changed currency from USD to EUR,
and reselected NOK, and got this error:
Error: EUR is not defined
Source File: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/okonomi/valutakalkulator/
Line: 62

Warning: redeclaration of function tilUrl
Source File: http://www.aftenposten.no/template/ver2-0/js/felles.js
Line: 76, Column: 9
Source Code:
function tilUrl(targ,selObj,restore){



third try:

when I type in the field for amount, for each backspace or digit typed I get an
error message that the target currency doesn't exist:
Error: DKK is not defined
Source File: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/okonomi/valutakalkulator/

MSIE has the same errors. They forgot to define the variables. Doh.

The site works fine now; looks like they fixed their buggy JS.
