Notice in the javascript console

Error: missing ( before formal parameters
Source File: http://www.skisport.ru/forum/view.php?subj=36417
Line: 204, Column: 9
Source Code:
function goto(where) {

Error: reply is not defined
Source File: javascript:reply('36814')
Line: 1

they have a script block

<script language=JavaScript><!--
function goto(where) {
  document.location.replace(where);
  return false;
}

function reply(href)
{
   vm=window.open("...");
   vm.focus();
}

// --></script>

which contains a function named goto. goto is a reserved identifier and 
can not be used as a function name. This error causes the rest of the 
script to fail to compile. Change the function name from goto to 
something else and it will work.
