130471 - neopets.com - shift-click or ctrl-click doesn't work, only click is sent

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Bill Haughton]

In game NeggSweeper under Neopets (actually a pretty cool game site)
you clear a mine field (like minesweeper).

To indicate a bomb,  you use either  shift-click  or ctrl-click
Each time I do this,  the bomb blows up instead of being just flagged.

try it out,  let me know if you need me to retest.

thanks

A good start would be saying where on that site that game is... they all have
unintelligible names and a quick skim I just did does not show it.

This site uses a bad javascript browser-detection scheme.  Reassigning to "Tech

Expected behavior: Shift Click and CTRL-click should make an X on the things,
which does not happen with Gecko browsers.

Result in Gecko browsers:
-Shift-Click behaves like a click
-CTRL-Click opens a new window with javascript:; in the address bar.

The problem looks like layers to me - var isNS	= (document.layers) ? true:false;
(but what do I know. I will attach the source code)

I tested this with 2003032008 commercial trunk and Mozilla 1.3b

it sort of works now, but the shift click opens a new window due to the use of
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="foo()">foo</a>. Contacting.

Site has seen a redesign since this bug was filed, my assumption is this bug no longer exists. The username and password do not work at this point. Closing the bug but please reopen if you can validate the bug still exists.
