123903 - newtek.com - JS scroller not working

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P4)

Description

[Miloslaw Smyk]

Mozilla 0.9.8 (2002020415) Linux/i-686

JavaScript scroller in "HOT NEW ITEMS" box is empty in Mozilla, while in NS4.x
it shows some ugly text moving upwards.

Repeat.: always.

The site is using version 3 of Macromedia functions that are out of date.
For example, here is their copy of MM_findObj. (They have erased the "MM_")


function findObj(n, d) { //v3.0
  var p,i,x;  

  if(!d) d=document;

  if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document;
    n=n.substring(0,p);
  }

  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n];

  for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++)
    x=d.forms[i][n];
  
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++)
    x=findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);

  return x;
}


This won't work in Moizilla, because it only recognizes document.all
and document.layers, neither of which are supported in Mozilla.

The site needs to update to the latest Macromedia template.
Reassigning to Tech Evangelism -

NewTek page has been redone. No more scroller problem. This bug should probably
be marked fixed.

I don't see a scroller anymore, but the menus work fine for me. They have
updated their dw scripts as well in http://www.newtek.com/includes/menu.js

fixed.
