Hey Frankie
funny responds

However, still (1.3.1 2.) not working
As this seems to come from the browser-check within mozilla 
(.. If "netscape" ..) it might be a good idea to find a solution for this
(Check-box: behave like Netscape ? )

unsolved in 1.7.5

Comment 7

MH, sorry for the confusion. What I meant is that schednet.com uses the
document.layers javascript code, which only exists in Netscape 4. No other
browser will ever support layers. (Schednet also uses document.all, which only
works in Explorer)

Mozilla follows official web standards and uses CSS positioning. Schednet needs
to get out of the mid-1990s and write a better web site. Someone, probably you,
will need to contact them and complain until it happens.

I recommend emailing [e-mail] and [e-mail]

still broken

Comment 9

[mhonline]

hmm - still broken (Seamonkey 1.1.7)

As the editor for that site is now growing in market-share and coming to the german market too, I guess it would be a good idea to try to solve that problem together with that company: NAMO Editor by the korean SJ NAMO

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.

hm

it is not functioning

shouldn't be mozilla (firefox/seamonkey) the heritage of a construction
 with "layer" and  "when browser==netscape"

??

The problem can only be solved by the author of that site.
Everyone who contacted them either failed or nobody had interest to contact them.
There is nothing we can do and it doesn't make sense to keep a collection of broken sites.
And no, the layer tag is obsolete since 2000 and will never be supported by Gecko. It can't be a great company or website if they failed to fix their code in 10 years !
