Interesting site. Every one of the links resulted in the following:

If you didn't see any popup windows,
you are probably using a popup blocker
and it is working.

Or, you are using a non-standard browser...
Or, you have Java turned off...

No, I don't use a popup blocker.
No, this was using MS Internet Explorer.
No, I did not have Java turned off.

Microsoft JVM removed; Sun Java 1.4.2 installed in place of:

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, S.E. 1.4.2_03
Default Virtual Machine Version 1.4.2_03-b2
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03

ActiveX and JavaScript set to "Prompt". Every link I clicked got at least
one dialogue box asking if I wanted to allow the scripts to run. I think the
author of that site has JavaScript (a Netscape/Mozilla development, designed
as the Netscape counterpart to ActiveX) confused with Java (a Sun
Microsystems development.)
