They are trying: (don't let the layer identifiers bother you, they aren't nn4
layers)

http://www.wavelan.com/js/BrowserCheck.js

But offsetXXX are readonly iirc:

http://www.wavelan.com/js/news/VScrollBox.js

function VScrollBox_setNN6Top(top) {
	this.layer.offsetTop = top
	window.status = top + ': ' + this.layer.offsetTop
}

function VScrollBox_setNN6Top(top) {
	this.layer.offsetTop = top
	window.status = top + ': ' + this.layer.offsetTop
}

I am not sure if this is complete cause of the problem however. It looks like
they wrap lots of their content in SPANS and may be trying to set the
height/width of SPANs which is not standard since it is not possible in the W3C
but I can't tell in a quick reading.

The code is pretty well written but hard to follow quickly. I need to come back
to this one or someone else can help out:
