181005 - JavaScript based dropdown menu not working

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 163503

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Daniel Nilsson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021114
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021114

On the page referenced in the URL, there are dropdown menus on the right side of
the page "browse brands" "browse products" etc. These menus can be dropped down,
but when you try to make a selection, the menu doesn't stay up so no selection
can be made.


Reproducible: Always

This has nothing to do with JS, and it's not a JS-based dropdown menu...  The
<select> is inside a <span> with :hover style on it.

Verified Duplicate -


<div class="smalltxt">
  <select ONCHANGE="gotosite(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)"
          NAME=URL class=dropdown> 
    <option SELECTED>Browse Brands

               etc.


Meanwhile, from http://www.horizonhobby.com/ie_style_v1.css,
this is defined:

.smalltxt:hover
{ 
  font-family: arial;
  font-size : 11px;
  color : #ffcc33;
}


Note, as mentioned in bug 163503 comment 13, the problem is confined
to Linux only. Indeed, the site given in this bug works fine with
Mozilla trunk binary 20021115xx on WinNT.

I'm sorry about the duplicate, couldn't find any bug reported against this
website and the first time through the html source it appeared to be heavily
based on javascript. I went back and read the page source again and I now
realize this specfic menu has nothing todo with javascript :-(

Anyway, thanks for moving this bug to the right area.
