This is the browser sniffing used by the site in global.js:

function checkBrowser(){
	this.ver = navigator.appVersion;
	this.dom = document.getElementById?1:0;
	this.ie6 = (this.ver.indexOf("MSIE 6")>-1 && this.dom)?1:0;
	this.ie55 = (this.ver.indexOf("MSIE 5.5")>-1 && this.dom)?1:0;
	this.ie5 = (this.ver.indexOf("MSIE 5")>-1 && this.dom)?1:0;
	this.ie4 = (document.all && !this.dom) ? 1:0;
	this.ns5 = (this.dom && parseInt(this.ver) >= 5) ? 1:0;
	this.ns4 = (document.layers) ? 1:0;
	this.bw  = (this.ie5 || this.ie4 || this.ns4 || this.ns5 || this.ie55 || this.ie6);
	this.os  = (this.ver.indexOf("Macintosh")>-1)? "mac":"pc";
	this.ie  = (this.ie5 || this.ie4 || this.ie55 || this.ie6);
	this.ns  = (this.ns4 || this.ns5);
	this.client = (this.ie) ? "ie" : "ns";
	return this;
}

It's clear that Mozilla and Netscape6 will be classified as ns5 (which is
correct) _and therefore_ into ns (which is dangerous as Netscape4 uses
document.layers)

And it really serves us document.layers. In init.js we have:

	if(is.ns){										// NS:
		origWidth = innerWidth;
		origHeight = innerHeight;
		window.onresize = redoNS;					// map onresize to redoNS (which is a document.reload) 

		document.layers["menuNs"].visibility = "show"; // Fix bug where menu was showed
while page was loading. Jose
		document.layers["bCumb"].visibility = "show";  // Fix bug where the rollover did
not work. Jose

Mozilla has also problem with the following in crosssfeature.js (there is a
JavaScript warning):

else if (is.ns)				// for netscape:
  {	
    this.tabs[i].left = offset.x - 1;	// set the position or the layers to 
    this.tabs[i].top  = (i==3)? 
    offset.y:offset.y + 29;			// the position of the anchor
  }


To wrap it up: its is a LAYERS problem.

-> Europe: West (where German ech Evangelism belongs)

bugzillamat: Please do not change Priority if you are not the owner of the bug
(the person assigned to it). 

As concerns Severity, what do you understand by Critical in the case of an
evangelism bug?

I get the following error:

Error: this.tabs[0] has no properties
Source File: http://www.audi.com/include/js/crossfeature.js
Line: 81

Error: cf has no properties

I think that this is also a problem with http://www.victoriassecret.com/.  It
runs a little javascript to determine browser capabilities and also appears to
reach the conclusion that Mozilla 202062304 needs to be given layers.  

I've not actually traced the code.  I've just confirmed that the menus do not
operate properly.  The second level menus fail to pop up.  The first level
highlighting as the mouse moves is incorrect.
