The problem here is the way the menu is written.
Html for the menu is generated and then written using the following:
(It's near the end of the showMenu function in menu.js if you're interested)

  if (document.all)
  {
    document.all['men'].innerHTML=code;
  }
  else
  {
    x=document.layers.men_layer.document;
    x.open();
    x.write(code);
    x.close();
  }

document.all will be false for mozlla, and so document.layers is used, which is
what the standards contain, (and not what mozilla uses).
The page will work if this is added before the 'else':
else if (document.getElementById)
{
    document.getElementById('men').innerHTML=code;
}

Oops. I missed out a 'not' in my previous comment.
I should have said that document.layers is not what the standards contain.

Thanks for the detailed information! :) I'll try to contact the webmaster of the

Moving to new component "West Europe".  European component is being removed. 
See bug 95808 for details.

site seems dead

Comment 9

[Matthias Dahl]

Indeed the company has gone out of business - like so many in the past few month
unfortunately. :(

Comment 10

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

invalid then (fixed is kinda futile if the site is dead).

Comment 11

[z-aillon.c-obsolete2]

See what happens when people don't use standards compliant pages?  Less people
are able to access their site and spend money on all the web goodies they
sell/provide.

I wonder if we can market that for our evangelism campaign...  heh :)

Verifying INVALID - site doesn't exist.
