From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461)
BuildID:    20020530

When logging into the online courses, a menu bar appears at the top. It uses 
Javascript (I believe). It does not work in Mozilla 1.0 (or previous builds), 
Netscape 6, or Netscape 7 preview, so it is likely with the rendering engine. 
Holding the mouse over the menu will invoke javascript:void(0), and this will 
create a drop-down menu with options to choose from. This menu never drops 
down, but that javascript line does appear in the status bar. HTML is in 
additional information section.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Sinple access the web page.

Actual Results:  No drop down menu appears

Expected Results:  Form drop-down menus with selectable options

When logging into the online courses, a menu bar appears at the top. It uses 
Javascript (I believe). It does not work in Mozilla 1.0 (or previous builds), 
Netscape 6, or Netscape 7 preview, so it is likely with the rendering engine. 
Holding the mouse over the menu will invoke javascript:void(0), and this will 
create a drop-down menu with options to choose from. This menu never drops 
down, but that javascript line does appear in the status bar. 

Here is the exact code which forms the drop down menus:

Looks like it could be tech evangelism. If so, the site is in Ohio, United States. 

We can tell the site that HierMenus has an upgrade that works with Mozilla and
Netscape 6+.

Component: Browser-General → JavaScript Engine
