147681 - solver.com - Pop-up menus in wrong place and can't be clicked on

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Other, defect)

Description

[Allen Windhorn]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc3)

There is a row of pop-up menu items in the blue bar below the title.  I haven't
examined the source closely, but I think they are controlled by Javascript. 
When the mouse is positioned over one of the items, a pop-up menu appears, but
it is in the wrong place (seems random, sometimes it overwrites the item your
mouse is over), and if you move the mouse to click on an item in the pop-up, it
disappears.

This seems to be the same bug reported in #117450 and #117451, but I thought
another example might be helpful.

Netscape 4.78 does not display the menu items at all.  MS Explorer 5.50 performs
correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.access www.solver.com
2.try to select an item from one of the menu items "Products, Solutions,
Support, Pricing..." by moving the pointer over the selection.
3.

Actual Results:  Can't pick any item from the popup list.

Expected Results:  Pop up menu immediately below the selected item, allowing you
to move mouse pointer down the list and select a URL.  IE5.5 does this.
