Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.7+)

BuildID:    2001122103

Mozilla 0.9.7+ Windows XP is my OS. The two problems as indicated are one the
scrolling headlines that aren't appearing. Now the page does have a Netscape
taskbar at top which displays perfectly but the headlines themselves don't
scroll across atop the navigation. When viewed in Netscape 6.2.1. the headlines
do not scroll either.

The next problem itself is the navigation display. Usually I have had a problem
with navigation or logo.jpg files displaying lower but it seems this time the
navigation grid is displaying too high. It covers up the Netscape webmail ad and
should be appearing exactly ontop of "the best of the year of 2001" but instead
is displaying higher than usual.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://www.instyle.com/instyle/read/white/0,8619,186797,00.html
2. Now open up any non Mozilla based browser
3. Please correct any errors you may see as well please add any notes not
mentioned in my report.

heh *any* non mozilla browser? ;-)
I Opera the drop down menus appear at the bottom of the screen, is that the way
it should be? Heh. Anyways I check how it looks like in NS4 and checked the
source. Looks like it uses HierMenus. It's browser sniffing code looks ok.

the Hiermenus used here has been cut and pasted. Don't know what version.

scrolling headlines works for me btw with mozilla0.9.7

I have contacted the Instyle website using their webform telling them about the
problems. I will also put up an attachment to display the problems in case they
reply. Headlines still not appearing with build 2002011103 version 0.9.7+

Viewed the site with Mozilla build 2002042403 and no longer see the problems. It
seems the scrolling headlines have been done away with and the site displays
exactly as it does in Internet Explorer. No problems come up in the JAVAscript
console and no display problems period. Setting resolution to fixed.
