Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 88596

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect)

Description

[Satheesh]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020401
BuildID:    2002040108

In the dixons site http://www.dixons.co.uk when I try to navigate on the menus
an alert window pops up.
I can navigate using the keyboard. It seems to work fine.
I did disable the javascript error/warnings bit in the Edit->Preferences->Debug
window. I still get the same error.




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.goto http://www.dixons.co.uk
2.Move the mouse over the menus on the left hand side of the screen.
3.Try disabling the errors and warnings in the
Edit->Preferences->debug->Javascript. The alert window still pops up.


Actual Results:  The alert window pops up and its not possible to use the mouse
on this menu

Expected Results:  I would expect that all such Javascript errors are disabled.
Atleast when I disable all errors/warnings in the
Edit->Preferences->debug->javascript window.


If its a problem in the way I am doing something would appreciate some more
information.

The alert is popped up by the page itself; not much we can do about that...

The page is using a menu system that is deisgned to work with the proprietary
DOMs of IE and NS4 and does not support the W3C standard DOM.

Over to evangelism.

Specifically, the popup is coming from this function in
view-source:http://www.dixons.co.uk/store_doc/js/heirmenu.js:


function Menu_displayMenu(level, name, e) {

               etc. 

    if(level > this.layer.length-1) {
        alert(level+ " exceeds the number of menu layers")
        return false;
    }

               etc. 

}
