Microsoft have admitted there was a problem parsing Certain JScript under IE
?.? .

Something about the getdate() command if you use getfulldate() instead (or
something) it works fine. 

I don't really know much about it but I read/skimmed something about it
somewhere (probably http://www.microsoft.com/y2k/) . Of course it's not a
problem in netscape it seems.  

There was also (I think) some common coding problem regarding JScript which
revolved around a formatting error in the call which was acceptable pre-y2k
but shows up as an error post-y2k - but I know even less about this one -
(some thing silly about a misplaced comma I think). 

Incidentally it looks fine now - possibly fixed - under IE5
