Javascript Scroll Bar on Mac

Using href="javascript:void(0);" instead of href="#"

When running IE5 in OS(9) and OS(X) my javascript scroll bar (below) does not work. The script works for Netscape 6 OS(9) and Netscape 6 OS(X) and Netscape 7 OS(X).

I read that changing

<a href="#" onMouseover="movedown();" onMouseout="clearTimeout(movedownvar);">

to

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onMouseover="movedown();" onMouseout="clearTimeout(movedownvar);">

would take care of my problem but it does not.

I have included the script below as well though it is already supposed to work on the Mac:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
iens6=document.all¦¦document.getElementById
ns4=document.layers

//specify speed of scroll (greater=faster)
var speed=5

if (iens6){
document.write('<div id="container" style="position:relative;width:400;height:135;border:0px solid black;overflow:hidden">')
document.write('<div id="content" style="position:relative;width:400;height:135;left:0;top:0">')
}
</script>

<ilayer name="nscontainer" width=400 height=135 clip="0,0,400,135">
<layer name="nscontent" width=400 height=135 visibility=hidden>
<%=long_text%>
</layer>
</ilayer>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
if (iens6)
document.write('</div></div>')
</script>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
if (iens6){
var crossobj=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("content") : document.all.content
var contentheight=crossobj.offsetHeight
}
else if (ns4){
var crossobj=document.nscontainer.document.nscontent
var contentheight=crossobj.clip.height
}

function movedown(){
if (iens6&&parseInt(crossobj.style.top)>=(contentheight*(-1)+100))
crossobj.style.top=parseInt(crossobj.style.top)-speed
else if (ns4&&crossobj.top>=(contentheight*(-1)+100))
crossobj.top-=speed
movedownvar=setTimeout("movedown()",100)
}

function moveup(){
if (iens6&&parseInt(crossobj.style.top)<=0)
crossobj.style.top=parseInt(crossobj.style.top)+speed
else if (ns4&&crossobj.top<=0)
crossobj.top+=speed
moveupvar=setTimeout("moveup()",100)
}

function getcontent_height(){
if (iens6)
contentheight=crossobj.offsetHeight
else if (ns4)
document.nscontainer.document.nscontent.visibility="show"
}
//window.onload=getcontent_height
</script>

I have heard IE5 is buggy on the Mac. I don't think the link is the problem. Anyone have an idea?
