120909 - bmf.gv.at - Javascript submenus do not open correctly

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: German, defect, P2)

Description

[Helmut Leininger]

Build: 2002011703
This page uses Javascript menus and submenus. The submenus should open to the
right of the menu item but they behave like drop down menus

Reproduceable: every time.

Steps to reproduce:
1. go to http://www.bmf.gv.at/service/_startframe.htm?Typ=formulare
2. move the mouse over "Steuern" on the left menu. A submenu opens.
3. move the mouse over the item "Leitfäden" or "Weitere Steuern" in the submenu

Actual Results:
The submenu triggered by step 3 just drops down overriding the menu.

Expected Results:
The submenu triggered by step 3 should open to the right of wthe item where the
mouse is over. Compare with Internet Explorer or Netscape 4.75

Confirming on 2002011503 Win2k. I'm getting literally dozens of JavaScript
errors on the JavaScript console, though, like:

Warning: reference to undefined property window.HM_Array96
Source File: http://www.bmf.gv.at/resources/menue/HM_ScriptDOM.js
Line: 120

Somehow in HM_ArrayIDPrefix the IDPrefix gets replaced by some number:

if(HM_f_ValidateArray(HM_ArrayIDPrefix + i)) ...

How about using the latest HierMenus library from webreference.com?

This page uses <SCRIPT SRC=XXXX> which is a problem as detailed in bug #118404

This site uses HierMenu version 4.0.8: see
http://www.bmf.gv.at/resources/menue/HM_ScriptDOM.js

This problem shows up on all sites that uses the same version of HierMenu. 
There's a new version available at http://www.dhtmlab.com/

The problem is in relying on the .offsetTop, .offsetLeft attributes
of <DIVS> to calculate submenu position in Mozilla. These properties
changed in Mozilla as a result of bug 81290.

Because .offsetTop is 0 in Mozilla, submenus get positioned too close
to the top of the page via the above equation; hence get positioned
too high relative to the parent menu.

Note: see bug 111151 for an example of the .offsetLeft problem
(submenus getting positioned too far to the left)

Note: see bug 90617 for the specific issue with the "HierMenus" template.

Reassigning to Tech Evangelism -
