In Internet Explorer, the click opens: https://www.cmrfalabella.com/b2carpr/CMRCORP/grafica/html/GRAFICACORP/AR/CMRContratocmrAR.html in a pop-up window.

Looking at the Error Console, this seems to be produced by the lack of an implementation for MM_openBrWindow.

Comment 3

[Kai Liu]

This is an evangelism bug.

The problem is that there is a bug (illegal character) in their JavaScript, which causes Firefox to stop parsing their "fnscripts.js" file, which results in their custom MM_openBrWindow function being undefined.  IE just ignores the error.

[Brian Crowder]

I agree wholeheartedly with comment #3.  (not sure if jresig is the right guy for the evangelism part of the deal or not)

Comment 5

[John Resig]

I'm re-assigning to Tech Evangelism - not really the place of the 'Evangelism' team (however confusing the naming might be, heh).

Comment 6

[Brian Crowder]

Yeah, I kinda knew I was taking a swing in the dark, but I also knew you'd Do the Right Thing.  ;)

Comment 7

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

Conforming summary to TE guidelines and reopening since this seems like something that should be evangelised.

Andrés, please contact the webmaster and let him know about the problem. Feel free to point him over here if he needs help understanding why it's broken.
