125999 - (ksiaznica) ksiaznica.szczecin.pl - Alert window appears and page is unaccessible

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Polish, defect, P4)

Description

[Miloslaw Smyk]

Mozilla 2002020611/Linux-i686

Strange alert window appears and complains about unknown DOM. Page is not
accessible.

Steps to recreate:

1. Visit above URL.
2. Click on bottommost entry in menu on the left ("KATALOG KSIAZNICY POMORSKIEJ").
3. Observe small window appearing.
4. Click on first item in the new window ("1. KATALOG GLOWNY KSIAZNICY (ALEPH)").
5. Another window opens.
6. Soon after that a dialog appears with "DMenu: Unknown DOM" inside.
7. When you try to "ok" the dialog, it reappears.

Obviously, the message should not appear and page should be usable (as in fact
it is when tested with NS4.x).

Repeatability: always.


I am not sure if the bugzilla's "component" I selected is right, btw.

Changing Platform/OS to All/All as I see the problem with mozilla0.9.8 on WindowsME.

Accepting the bug.

Comment 3

[Jacek Piskozub]

Webmaster contacted with the LAYERS evangelism letter on 2/18/2002.

Comment 4

[Miloslaw Smyk]

Ok, it's been a month - has there been any reaction?

Comment 5

[Jacek Piskozub]

No reaction, so far.

Comment 6

[Jacek Piskozub]

It seems this bug is dependant on bug 124185. The alert is identical, and in
both cases these are library sites, using something they call ALEPH. I believe
Ksiaznica  Pomorska has simply bought the software and has no means of repairing
it...

Comment 7

[Miloslaw Smyk]

On the other hand, sites who were subjects of bug #60840 and bug #58399 somehow
managed to get themselves repaired. Either there is a new version of ALEPH
software available or a self-made fix is also possible.

Since the webmaster is not answering email I think I'll try to locate him/her in
person and discuss the issue on the phone. I'll post any results here. 

Comment 8

[Jacek Piskozub]

This bug will not be resolved without an upgrade of the ALEPH software. Moving
to Future.

Comment 9

[Jacek Piskozub]

The Webadmin contacted me. He expect a update of the ALEPH libraries, but did
not say when.

Leaving Target at Future.

Comment 16

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]

Updating summary (see comment 15)

Comment 17

[Jacek Piskozub]

Giving the bug back to the community ;-)

Comment 18

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]

Now the page says "Biblioteka zamknieta" ("The library has been shut down").

Resolving as INVALID. Please reopen if the site is reborn and still not
compatible with Mozilla.

Comment 19

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]

The site is back online and the bug still persits.

Reopening.

Comment 21

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]
