Can't check hitbox stats without NS4.x or IE 4.x or 5.x due to the use of document.layers and document.all... Support email address is support@websidestory.com
Most Javascript have if(document.layers){crazy NutScrap 4 work arounds} else{MSIE code with document.all} Your browser is sensless, when it requires a new standard. Since You gave up document.layers, You have to support document.all The web design industry will not wast an other some billion $ to make all site MSIE, NutScrap 4 and Your browser compatible.
Clearly, you don't understand enough Javascript and DOM to discuss this issue. There's one standard that works in Netscape 6.0 and MSIE 5.x. document.all and document.layers are obsolete hacks for 4.x browsers. The web design industry will go where it's lead by market share. Since AOL is where the largest group of people get their browsers, they can pretty much force people to support standard compliant browsers like Netscape 6.

The home page appears to be fine now, can someone with a hitbox account check to see if the stats page is still horked? I am marking fixed but please reopen if you still see the problem in the stats page.

Just had a nice talk with "Justin" at websidestory (or hitbox or whatever name they want to call it). He acknowledged problems with NS 6.2 (and therefor moz). You can reach their tech support toll free by calling 1-877-422-4234, dialing 6, then choose the product you want to complain about from the menu.
Are they planning on fixing this, or do they need help?
You can see this for my hitbox website clearly: http://vwr1.hitbox.com/HitboxUI?acct=WQ520109EMZS81EN7&p=1&rf=hc

It's been years since I reported this and I no longer use Hitbox, so I don't have an account to log in and test it with to see if it's fully fixed or not.
