I'm seeing this problem on PC/Linux build 2000091521. The box (map?) with all
the spors in the center of the page is displayed in Mozilla, but not in NN 4.x.
But since the site is doing a lot of browser- and version- sniffing, I'm not
sure that this is not a problem in the page itself. Maybe a reduced testcase
would help.

I have isolated the "sport chooser" into a testcase. The problem is that it
assumes that either document.layer or document.all is working. e.g.:

function show(object) {
if (document.layers && document.layers[object] != null)
document.layers[object].visibility = 'visible';
else if (document.all)
document.all[object].style.visibility = 'visible';
}

They should be using document.getElementByID instead (W3C DOM level 1).
See http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html.
Reassiging to Evangelism.

page no longer exists but i cruised around the olympic site using
2001-060-05-04/win2k and did not see any obvious problems or js console errors
related to layers, so marking fixed.
