137372 - clanbase.com - Show's the page with wrong colors and lacks all the important contents

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:

When loading any of www.clanbase.com pages, the pages show in wrong color (the
red factor of the colors has turned to blue - the more red it should be, the
more blue it is). That isn't yet critical, but the lack of the info of matches
isn't acceptable. I believe the list of previous matches is made with PHP, so
this problem could be in Mozilla's PHP reading part. I tested the page with
Opera 6.01 and Internet Explorer 5.00.3315.1000, which both show the page the
way it should be shown.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mozilla.
2. Open the page in Mozilla.
3. To know the page shows wrong, open the page in Opera or IE.

Actual Results:  The colors show wrong and the list of the clan's previous
matches isn't shown at all.

Expected Results:  Print out the colors in the right way. Get the list of the
clan's previous matches as the server sends it.

The Clanbase website isn't fully valid code, but the page opening correctly in
two other browsers, I believe the fault is at least partly in Mozilla.

The site has:

css = 'cb_red';
if(!document.all)
{
  css = css + "_ns";
}
document.write("<LINK rel='stylesheet' HREF='http://www.clanbase.com:8000/" +
css + ".css' TYPE='text/css'>");

So it's loading different stylesheets in Mozilla and in Opera/IE (Mozilla does
not have document.all, while the other two browsers do).

Now one difference between the two sheets is in the definition of what colors
link and such should be.  The sheet IE/Opera get has:

.slink {color: #ffffc0;text-decoration: none}
.ulink {color: #ffffc0}
.forum {color: #ffCC00;text-decoration: none}

while the sheet Mozilla gets has:

.slink {color: #c0ffff;text-decoration: none}
.ulink {color: #c0ffff}
.forum {color: #00CCFF;text-decoration: none}

As you can see, the Mozilla version has the blue and red reversed compared to
the IE version.  Hence the rendering difference.

Over to evangelism; there's no reason to give Mozilla the Netscape4 sheet (which
is what's happening now).
