Why doesn't Netscape like this javascript?

	I've had two different people at nearly the same time tell me 
they're having problems with a javascript dropdown navigation menu I 
have on my astronomy club pages (http://www.bro.lsu.edu/bras/). The 
first person was using Netscape 7, and said the formatting was messed 
up for the menu, and the page was three or four times wider than it 
should've been. He did not specify if he was using a Mac or PC 
version of NS 7.
	The second person was using Chimera(sp?), a Mozilla derivative for 
the Mac. His problem was the browser wouldn't display the "GO" 
button, so he couldn't use the menu to navigate.
	The only other complaint I've ever had about the javascript since I 
put it in was with someone using an older, non-javascript capable 
browser. An upgrade fixed that. Since both complaintants are us NS 
products, I'm wondering if it's something with NS in this case.
	The original script came with my HomeSite 5 HTML editor. The only 
modification I did was in the selections. The script appears on all 
the pages, and I really would hate to lose it. But if it is going to 
mess up our visitors, I may have to.
	Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. TIA.
