202607 - Clicking on an IPIX image does nothing. Only the default image remains displayed.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

At eBay, many vendors offer several thumbnails of their item, using IPIX. A
default image is full sized. Clicking on a thumbnail replaces the full sized
image with your choice of images. Mozilla does not permit this. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose an auction
2. Scroll to images at the bottom
3. If multiple thumbnails are offered, click on one other than the one already
enlarged.

Actual Results:  
Nothing at all

Expected Results:  
Enlarged the clicked image in the box where the default image is displayed enlarged.

There is no workaround other than to copy the url into IE 6.0 and try it there.
Not a satisfactory situation/solution.

How about describing in detail how to do this?

My dad is an ebay addict and told me about this problem.  Example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2947035679&category=11070
(many ebay auctions use the same code and the same searchable text "Click on a
picture to enlarge").

That page WFM in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b)
Gecko/20030823 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+, and I think my dad said he wasn't
hitting this problem any more, so marking as WFM.  If you find an ebay URL where
it still doesn't work in a new version of Mozilla or Firebird, please reopen.
