Sorry, not under my control! ALL pages that use javascript have this
problem, not just mine;
aweber, MSN, yahoo, whatever. All of them work fine on my wife's desktop
and all of our
notebooks. The problem only occurs on my desktop w/Debian/Etch &
Iceweasel (also Iceape
and Galeon), so something is not right somewhere.

I can't get any non-Mozilla browser installed to try any of them.
