The flowcharting-application Microsoft Visio can export HTML-Pages from the
drawings. If there are multiple drawings in the Visio-File, the HTML contains
some JavaScript to provide a simple way to browse through the pages in a frame.
This code is not working, the browse-buttons and combo-box are not displayed.
The page works in IE.
This may well be a problem of the code and thus belong to Evangelism.

I will attach a zip-file with the files that are produced by Visio.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Extract the attached ZIP-File to a directory.
2. Open D_n_B_Architecture_frame.htm

Actual Results:  
The lower frame is completely black.

Expected Results:  
The lower frame should contain a combo-box with the available pages and left and
rigth buttons to navigate through them.

The JavaScript in "D_n_B_Architecture_utils.js" will only work in IE or NS4.

An example:

if (navigator.appName == "Netscape")
	{
	isNav = true;	
	layerStyleRef="layer.";
	layerRef="document.layers"; 
	styleSwitch=""; 
	}
else
	{ 
	isIE = true;
	layerStyleRef="layer.style."; 
	layerRef="document.all"; 
	styleSwitch=".style"; 
	}


-> INVALID

Shouldn't this then be a bug for Evangelism to ask MS to change that? 

(regardless how unlikely it is that MS does really adjust this...)

Setting default owner & QA

A bug already exists about the HTML that MS Office products output.  The MS web
site lists Visio as an Office component....
