155227 - microsoft.com - JavaScript Pulldown Menu Doesnt Work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 143195

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Bekim Abazoski]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    2002053012

On the Microsoft home page http://microsoft.com, there are several JavaScript
pulldown menus which I cant access using Mozilla, yet in IE they work perfectly
fine. I have enabled JavaScripting on my browser yet the pulldown menus do not work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla
2.Type http://microsoft.com in the navigation bar
3.Put your mouse over one of the pulldown menus

Actual Results:  Nothing. It just treated the pulldown as a normal link.

Expected Results:  There should have beem a pulldown menu from where I could
access the Windows Update Page.

It also did not work in Netscape.

In the HTML we have

<script language="JavaScript">
var ToolBar_Supported = ToolBar_Supported;										

if (ToolBar_Supported != null && ToolBar_Supported == true)					
{																				
  TBDownLevelDiv.style.display = "none";										
  setICPBanner("/library/homepage/images/mslogo-blue.gif","","Microsoft Home");
  drawToolbar();																
}
</script>


Where we have, in http://microsoft.com/library/toolbar/toolbar.js, 

var ToolBar_Supported = false;

if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")    != -1 && 
    navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows") != -1 && 
    navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) > 3)
{
  ToolBar_Supported = true;

  if(!RTL)
  {
    if (document.compatMode == "CSS1Compat")
    {
      Strict_Compat = true;
    }
  }	
}


Later on in this file, the function drawToolbar() is defined
to using only a |document.all| codepath. 


So, in any other browser but IE, the toolbar is not fully drawn.
Reassigning to Tech Evangelism component -

Comment 5

[Phil Schwartau]

Lasse: good catch! They are duplicates. Perhaps Evangelism might
like to dupe the other bug against this one, since there seems
to me more information here about the coding at the site -
