My version is sun-java6-jre (apparently arch independent).

I was able to capture some error code when accessing the site. This is 
the result of my attempt to call
javascript:parent.chat_applet_frame.document.chatapplet.openRoom1()

Error: node : TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression
parent.chat_applet_frame.document.chatapplet.openRoom1) is not an object.
Cannot be called.

I don't much about this kind of thing, but I'd say that this appears 
quite obvious that the fault is on the site side rather than on my side 
... except this is where I spoofed the user agent string, so don't know 
if that confused things a bit.
