Nothing, except that it has a code monster for the navigation where a few simple
links would be sufficient. That menu code requires a *Java* runtime software on
the visitor's computer (not just javascript obviously). The error message above
must come from wrong diagnosis, or isn't related to the access problem itself. I
could always access these pages and I have cookies *disabled* in MSIE.

The Java runtime software is not included in WinXP anymore (AFAIK since SP1a),
which means that people with newer Windows XP installations won't be able to use
that menu when they don't have installed a Java support themselves additionally
(like I did as mentioned in the other posting).

(I discoverd this Java issue recently when using XP for the first time, and i.e.
the MyChessViewer which requires the same software, didn't run and I didn't find
the Java runtime among the installable Windows components...)
