I'm really sorry about that.
The js was added for a valid (imo) reason - to make the display of footnotes unobtrusive and natural; the behavior degrades to a plain link if it is disabled.
Maybe you have an older js implementation enabled?
edit - should have mentioned, the js only controls the display of the footnotes.

With or without JS enabled, when I click the link bottom-left of the title page, it takes me to http://billhails.net/Book/front.html which comes up entirely blank using my preferred browser (Opera). I viewed the source and saw the reference to book.js and attributed the problem to that.
I just sparked up an (relatively ancient) version of Firefox and the page loads fine there. Looking at the JS, I suspect DOM differences for Opera vs. FireFox.

Hmm, OK, thanks for that. If this breaks Opera, I'd better fix it!

Odd, I just downloaded Opera (for Mac) and browsed to the book. It works fine for me. I'll try with a FreeBSD Opera when I get to work tomorrow morning.

I believe I've fixed it, at least the Opera that I tested that was hanging no longer does so. Problem wasn't the javascript per se, it was the script tag that has to be in the form <script ...></script> e.g. <script .../> won't cut it for older browsers.
