Most of the Novell.com web-site displays correctly, but this link messes up.

You can also browse to it by going to http://www.novell.com/products/netmail,
then selecting Product Info -> Info Library

if this is any consolation, the offending script is written in
2000 (//copyright 2000; Gravity Media Group.)

here's the problem:
search for the following code in the html file:

    if (document.layers){
        var locoTop = document.xy.y;
        var locoLeft = document.xy.x;
    }

you should find that the menu position is never calculated
for mozilla. Add the following code should solve the problem:

    if (is.ns5){
        var locoTop = 300; // or whatever
        var locoLeft = 200;  // or whatever
    }

There is a new issue, though I don't know when it occurred because I only
recently upgraded from PX 0.5.  Now, the main menu (left-side) is mis-sized on
every page.

Is it us or them? . . .

Peter, thanks for following-up on this.  I'd forgotten about it!  Yes, the
Novell web-site seems to work fine now.  I know they did a major overhaul of
their code about a year ago, which must've "fixed" the IE-specific code!
