111188 - novell.com - Blank Forum details in Mozilla but fine in IE

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Stuart Burns]

When attempting to browse the forums, if you select any forum, the actual
articles that are in the forum dont appear. However if you take the URL and
paste it into IE 5, the forums display correctly.

Build ID: 2001 11 20 03. Windows 2000.

I can confirm that the items under "Questions" are not visible in Mozilla,
as they are in IE 5.5.

NOTE: IE issues an Error pop-up:

  "A Runtime Error has occurred... Line: 5 Error: Object Expected"

And the JavaScript console of Mozilla says:

  Error: w is not defined
  Source File: http://www.novell.com/inc/footer.js
  Line: 5

Evangelism?

Confirmed marking NEW. It's possible that the site is under construction?

The URL is dead. The problem still occurs, though.

Old URL:

New URL:

This error occurs on ALL Novell Forumes, not only the groupwise forum.

If you go to the Novell website (www.novell.com), and select support -> support
forums, then you can select any forum (HTML based), and the results are the same.

I tried on the Netware 5.1 upgrade forum.

Regards,  Steven.

This one should be closed.  Novell's HTML forums now work with Mozilla / Phoenix.
