I suspect it has more to do with operas js implimentation than with js
itself.
Your closing statement is indicitive of the additude that lets M$ do as it
pleases.
M$ does not stick to any standards(save their own), nor did NS when it came
to js.
Netscape has been a flawed browser for some time now and its looking like it
will never be stable. Konqueror does fairly good and is extremely stable
compared to NS but a bit flakey on cookies sometimes.
And sad to say but IE is the best browser out there for windows. I wish
there was a linux port.
The js on your page works fine on IE5.5 on my NT box and on konqueror1.9.8.
To understand why it wont work in NS is to understand the NS js
implimentation.
Make the skii.jpg a link to some url. Move the events to the <A href> tag.
it will now work in NS(and a few others ;-))
