148260 - Mozilla 1.0RC3 does not display the admin pages for Cobalt RaQ XTR correctly.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Brad Smith]

The Sun Cobalt RaQ XTR is a web server appliance based on linux (redhat 6.x) and
apache. It is administered via a php-based web application. This admistrative
web application displays correctly in MS IE (5.5), Konquereur (KDE 3), and
Netscape 4.x. It does not display correctly in Mozilla 1.0RC3 (or Galeon).

The admin web interface is comprised of tabs across the top and a menu panel
down the left side. Menus are tied to tabs. Mozilla fails to display the menu
items at all. Tabs are displayed correctly.

no blocker in any case...

Can you save the Html and attach it to this bug or do you have a demo URL for
the WEB-Interface ?

Do you see any errors in the Javascript Console ?

Comment 2

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

If this web-interface is a Java applet :
Can you please upgrade to JRE1.4 ?

Attachment: html source file as requested

I have attached the html source for a page from the admin web application for
Cobalt web servers. Netscape 4.x and MS IE correctly display this page. Mozilla
1.0RC3 does not. 

The Javascript console does display errors. The errors are listed below:

Error: top.code.mItem_Item is not a constructor
Source File: https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81/nav/cList.php?root=root&group=server
Line: 24

Error: top.code has no properties

Error: top.code has no properties

Error: top.code.monitorLight_repaintLight is not a function
Source File:
https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/turbo_ui/dispatch/alertSignal
Line: 4

This web application is not an applet.

Thanks, Please let me know if I can provide additional information.

I see that one of the frames has the name "code". Is the JavaScript trying to
access stuff in that frame using 'top.code.*' ?

[Brad Smith]

The same problem continues to exist under Mozilla 1.0 final.

I do not know the answer to the question Mats Palmgren has asked.

I tried using Netscape 4.79 on my RedHat system with the Cobalt web admin
interface. It worked correctly. Mozilla 1.0, as noted above, does not render the
web interface correctly.

[John Souvestre]

I am having the same problem.  I'm running BSD 4.7 and Mozilla 1.2a,1.

Comment 8

[Jim King]

I see the same problem running Mozilla 1.2b on Windows XP.

Comment 9

[John Souvestre]

P.S.  That should read:  I'm running FreeBSD 4.7.

To be able to display the admin page, you must make a correction in 
the /usr/sausalito/ui/web/libJs/collapsibleList.js file.
At line 249 you have the following tag:

doc.write("<DIV ID=\""+_cList_elementId+"\" STYLE=\"position:absolute;
visibility:hidden; left:"+_cList_x+"; top:"+_cList_y+";\">");

and at line 255

doc.write("</DIV>");

Just comment ou thes two lines and ths left menu tree should display correctly
on your browser.
I don't know much about hml tags and javascript but if someone could explain me
why it does not work with mozilla, it would be helpfull

Just to complete my previous message :

when commenting out the lines you won't display the me frames correctly with IE.
Only the left collapsible list will be displayed.

for the two line I put this:


  if (document.all)
    doc.write("<DIV ID=\""+_cList_elementId+"\" STYLE=\"position:absolute;
visibility:hidden; left:"+_cList_x+"; top:"+_cList_y+";\">");

[...]

  if (document.all)
    doc.write("</DIV>");

this works all right.
