load www.genie.it and look at the dhtml menu at the top of the page: they are
misplaced (they don't appear under the mouse pointer). works with ie6.

Must be some bad DHTML/JS code.
genie.it already has an unrelated Tech Evangelism bug report: bug 101724.

The relevant code is:

In http://www.genie.it/buildMenu_alb.js :

var winTop = 100;
/ * some stuff */
new Menu("menu0", winLeft-90, winTop, ..)

Now in http://www.genie.it/ddmenu_alb.js :

if (navigator.appName == "Netscape")
        br = "N";
else
        br = "IE";

function Menu(strID, intLeft, intTop, objMenuItems) {
        this.intTop = intTop;

And further on:

        if (br == "IE") {
           /* some code*/
        } else {
           /* set intLnkTop to the intTop of the menu object in question */
        }

        if(br == "N" && theVersion >= 5){
           objBox.style.top = intLnkTop;
        }
   
In other words, in Netscape the style.top is always set to 100px.  Chances are, 
this is only the right distance for one very particular font size, resolution, 
and browser width combination.

To evangelism.  The code is simply broken as-is.

I tried to go to www.genie.it but I got redirected on www.infinito.it
The site works very well with Firebird and I found no problem at all.
If somebody could try this, I think that this bug could be closed as fixed.

Tested in FF 9.2 (XP), js menus display fine.

the www.genie.it appears to be a redirect now:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=%22%2Bwww.genie.it%22
First entry shows genie's domain, but infinito homepage.

Suggest this bug be resolved.
