Description

[greg jones]

I first noticed this with Netscape 6.1, upgraded to the latest "thumbs up" test
version of mozilla 2001090712 and still problems.  What is even more upsetting,
the problems with JavaScript won't allow me to drop down Dave's "Top Ten" list
nor get RealPlayer to play his nightly monologue!

I have had to "Gasp" resort to using Netscape version 4.78, where everything
works fine.

CBS has recently updated its JavaScript components, so I don't know if this is
a problem with Mozilla or CBS's problem.

Regards,

Confirming on 2001090703 Win2k and over to Tech Evangelism - they just don't
recognize Mozilla as a valid browser in http://www.cbs.com/Common/js/core.js .

seems to be better (they have dom handling), but still has some minor issues

in function checkBrowser they do:
 this.navUser.indexOf("Netscape6")>0?(this.ns6=true):(this.ns6=false);
and miss Mozilla and all Gecko browsers altogether.

See also http://cbs.com/Common/js/nav_top.js which appears ok I think.
