This site (http://www.gb.buy.com) is typical of a few that I have found where
the designers have included drop down menus which don't drop down in Mozilla 0.9.4

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select the menu option and click on it.  If a drop down menu is expected the
link generally ends in '#' but nothing happens


Actual Results:  Nothing

Expected Results:  Revealed the drop down menu items to select from

Confirmed. This site uses a hier menu and does not seem to allow
for Mozilla/Netscape6.x in the code.
This site is in UK (Europe:West) and so should go to nitot.

A similar example is at http://my.palm.com.  Here the menus work but they drop
down in unpredictable places in Mozilla with the result that it isn't actually
possible to select menu items 'cos the menu closes/collapses before the mouse
can get to it :-)

I guess this site is not using the Hier menu
but it does refer to this .js file.

seems like this is a case where NS6 or Mozilla is not
dealt with.
