155110 - [LAYER]Javascript Menu (using layers) fails.

Status: CLOSED INVALID

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

Hovering over the Menu should open Menu boxes based on layers, as described in
menu.js, this is not the case using Mozilla Build 2002062308

This site does not use W3C-compliant HTML and has no W3C codepath.
From http://www.sniff-em.com/menu.js:


function CreateLayer(text, id, t, l) {
if(document.layers)
 {
  var str="<LAYER ID=menu" + id + " TOP=" + t + " LEFT=" + l + " 
onmouseover=\"occupied_menu[" + id + "]=1;\" onmouseout=\"Turn('" + id + 
"',0);occupied_menu[" + id + "]=0;\" VISIBILITY=HIDE ZINDEX=15>" + text + 
"</LAYER>";
  document.write(str);
 }
 else if(document.all)
 {
  var strng="<div id=menu" + id + " style=\"z-index: 15; position:absolute;top:" 
+ t + ";left:" + l + ";visibility:hidden;width:100;\" 
onmouseover=\"occupied_menu[" + id + "]=1;\" onmouseout=\"Turn('" + id + 
"',0);occupied_menu[" + id + "]=0;\">" + text + "</div>";
  document.write(strng);
 }
}
 

function Turn(id, mode) {
 if(document.layers || document.all) {
  if(mode)
   eval("setTimeout(\"On(" + id + ", " + mode + ");\",100)");
  else
   eval("setTimeout(\"Off(" + id + ", " + mode + ");\",100)");
 }
}


Note |document.layers| is a NN4.x-only proprietary feature,
and |document.all| is an IE-only feature.

Thierry, I just noticed that you may be associated with the site.
The Evanglelism owners will know more, but I can refer you to at
least these two URLs on this subject:
