103254 - ZMag.org - apparently uses javascript navigation menus generated by FrontPage 5.0 that aren't rendered in Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P2)

Description

[earthsound]

Mozilla 0.9.4, build ID: 2001091303, on Winblows 98:

Head to http://www.zmag.org/ZNET.htm or http://www.zmag.org/ZNETTOPnoanimation.html
and you will notice that the top frame shows only a bgcolor. The menus are not
rendered, as they are in Netscape 4.x (though it's broken, see attachment) and
IE 6 (not sure about 5.5 or earlier), as you can see by the other attachment. 

Also attached is the frame-in-question's source.

FWIW, according to the site (see http://www.zmag.org/), they reached the million
hits per week level back in March.

This is working for me in 2003030717.

Comment 12

[earthsound]

Please do not close this until they have updated their site. I will attach a
screenshot of how it is rendered in IE6, note that Mozilla does not render the
top navigation row.

WFM, looks the same in IE6 as it does in FF1.0RC1.

Comment 16

[earthsound]

Reopening. Martin, I'm not sure if you've looked at any of the screenshots I
posted, but firefox is definately *not* rendering the top frame as IE6 does. The
frame in question is:

http://www.zmag.org/mmusern1.htm

Firefox just displays a black page. IE6 displays the navigation that zmag
apparently wants visitors to use...

They've changed their site navigation. Although the referenced (Front page
generated) URL will never render "correctly", the new navigation doesn't use it.

WFM.
