167071 - tally.co.uk - doesn't know how to display page for gecko-based browsers

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect)

Description

[Ian Neal]

Using BuildID 2002090415 on WinXP
1. Click on above URL
2. Examine page displayed

Actual results
Information is missing compared to IE/NS4 - no overview of models/speeds/workloads
Mousing over buttons on left should change content to right and doesn't

Expected results
Displays as it does in IE/NS4

This is because of this function I think:
function changetext(whichcontent){
	if (document.all)
		descriptions.innerHTML='<font face="Arial" size="2"
color="#000033">'+whichcontent+'<font>'
	else if (document.layers){
		document.d1.document.d2.document.write('<font face="Arial" size="2"
color="#000033">'+whichcontent+'</font>')
		document.d1.document.d2.document.close()
	}
}

which just needs an entry adding for document.getElementByID

Not sure if there are other similar problems in the site though.

No obvious contact on contact us page, have phoned and found a volunteer to
accept the email and forward it on to the correct person/people.

fix :

function changetext(whichcontent){
	if (document.all)
		descriptions.innerHTML='<font face="Arial" size="2"
color="#000033">'+whichcontent+'<font>'
	else if (document.layers){
		document.d1.document.d2.document.write('<font face="Arial" size="2"
color="#000033">'+whichcontent+'</font>')
		document.d1.document.d2.document.close()
	}
        else if (document.getElementById('descriptions').innerHTML)
		document.getElementById('descriptions').innerHTML='<font face="Arial" size="2"
color="#000033">'+whichcontent+'<font>'
}
