Description

[Jens-Uwe]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011
BuildID:    2001101102

if you go to the pages mentioned with NS4.x, then you get menus whenever you
move the mouse over one of the little pictures. With Mozilla you don't.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to
http://data3.jvc-europe.com/JvcCons/Products/Products.asp?Country=Deu&Lang=De
2. move the mouse over the pictures
3. do the same with NS4

Actual Results:  nothing happens, when you do it with Mozilla

Expected Results:  the menus should appear

this page also fails to work with NS6.1, so this is no direct dupe of bug 90746,
which is about incorrect browser sniffing on JVC.com

The javascript is referenced at
http://data3.jvc-europe.com/JvcCons/Products/mydhtml.js uses proprietary DOM
code to select between MSIE and NS4.  (document.layers or document.all)

function setLayer(layerName, x, y, width, height, bgColor, content, visible){

 var layer = document.all ? document.all[layerName].style :
document.layers[layerName];

We don't support either and thus the problem here.

This all affects jvc.co.uk which uses the same code base I think

I have contacted them via email and got this back in reply:

user for our web site but at present we have no plans to update the website
