Please always tell us which version of Opera you are using, it can make 
a big difference in trying to figure why something doesn't work 
correctly.

No, not frames; just three tables.

It could take several hours to analyze this page. I'm certain it is a 
JavaScript problem. In fact, if you turn off Opera's JavaScript support 
the page works just fine. But I doubt many of us are willing to spend 
the time required to debug their code for them

Most of the JavaScript code in this page is unnecessary and needlessly 
complicates it. The rollover effect with the "buttons" images could be 
accomplished more simply by using CSS. I would guess the page was 
originally written about three years ago; much has changed with web 
standards and browser capabilities during that time. A complete rewrite 
to bring it up to current standards would be the best solution, but that 
is an expensive proposition.

Oh, and most important: the page's HTML code does not validate. Even if 
they want to stick with the old HTML 3.2 standard (which is what they 
specified for this page), they should at least fix the page so it 
complies with that standard. That wouldn't require a complete rewrite, 
just a bit of time correcting the errors.
