JavaScript problem in FF

Dec 27th, 2006

Hi,
I got very very strange problem. Since 19 of december, when all FireFox in company was upgrated automaticaly, code below stopped working. Strange thing is, when i wanted to solve it, it started to work when i've putted alert() function. Here you have working and not working examples. I'll add that this function is used about 4 times on the site:
