Mainly on the popular digital photo site dpreview.com but
unfortunately not restricted to this site I sooner or later run into
the problem that the site navigation and posting does not work any
more: Normally a list of available sub items is displayed on the left
side, when positioning the cursor on any a specific pull down pops up.
But every other week or so the site is displayed with an empty
background where the menu normaly is and therefore no further
navigation ist possible. I Opera I get the menus but when I click the
javascript enabled send button for posts nothing happens too.

I am running Windos XP Home with all current updates with Norton
Internet Security 2002 and Norton System Works 2002. Even after a
clean reinstall of all apps with all updates I don't get a stable
system. My only rescue so far is to load a system partion image of a
good status some weeks ago. But as I said, this does not last for
long.

I can't speak for the other sites you alluded to, or explain why the problem
is intermittent, but the is a Javascript coding problem on dpreview.com.
Those menus are created with a particular variant of Javascript known as
DHTML. The script declaration for DHTML is "JavaScript1.2". They have
incorrectly identified it as "Javascript".
