132980 - ebay.de - search form doesn't display

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: German, defect, P2)

Description

[Jürgen Nagel]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9+)
Gecko/20020322
BuildID:    2002032203

The page http://pages.ebay.de/search/items/search.html is missing the search
form. When I display the page with IE 6 the search form appears.

What I'm suspecting is, that the IIS (that's what's ebay.de using) only produces
IE compatible JavaScript code.
When I look at the page source, I see a lot of document.write commands, which
can cause problems according to other Bugzilla entries.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://pages.ebay.de/search/items/search.html


Actual Results:  The page seemingly displays correctly, i.e. the page doesn't
look strange. But the central search form is missing.

Expected Results:  The page should have been displayed with the search form.

<!--

document.write("<TABLE WIDTH=\"600\" BORDER=\"1\" CELLSPACING=\"0\"
CELLPADDING=\"0\" BORDERCOLOR=\"#9999CC\" BORDERCOLORLIGHT=\"#8080C0\"
BORDERCOLORDARK=\"#8080C0\"><TR><TD>");

This site works with older builds.
I think this bug is a dupe of #132673

I can't get the Search page to work in build 2002032408 on W2K or Win98. 

Thinking it may be their page layout as all the search pages worked I sent off
an email to Customer Services detailing the problem and got back a rather
condescending "He doesn't know how to use Search" email back.

Sorry for the extra spamage but I'm not sure wither this warrents another bug or
not. The same thing is happening at www.eBay.co.uk. I also notice that the links
above the Browse-Sell-Services-Search-Help-Community are missing. They show up
fine in IE and NS7.8

This is on W2K and Win98 using build 2002032408
