189554 - stoneradio.com uses javascript/DOM violating W3C standard

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Korean, defect)

Description

[Jungshik Shin]

Javascript used on the site works only with MS IE because
it's not compliant to W3C/ECMA standard. There are numerous/countless
Korean web sites with a similar problem, Korea, seemingly, being
the only country not concerned with the monopolistic power of
MS.

A Korean site -- moving to Other.

Comment 2

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

Jungshik, I am moving all Korean Evangelims bugs to Other category but
marking the language as [korean] in the Status Whiteboard. If we have 
someone interested in taking care of the category, we can create 
Korean component under Tech Evangelism. Until then, all Korean bugs
will be under Other but can be searched with [korean] status whiteboard
key.

BTW, I don't see much of a problem on this site now. IE6 on the other hand
has a problem displaying some protions of the page in Korean.

In terms of needs, we definitely need Korean envangelism components because as I
wrote eariler, the majority of Korean sites with DOM/ECMAscript are written to
work only with MS IE (government sites are not exceptions. well, what would I
say when one of the largest shareholder of Korea Telecom -formerly the state
telco, now privatized- is MS.)  Even if they do some browser detection, the
detection code is totally out of date (written as if it's 1998 instead 2003.
That is, they treat Mozilla/NS6/NS7 as NS4 and use now obsolete and non-standard
'layer').

In case of stoneradio.com, it's not some glitch in the rendering but the core
feature of the site (listening to music !) that does not work with Mozilla.
I'm sorry I should have described how to reproduce: 

How to reproduce:

1. In the first page, click on the icon 'Listen music station' (next to icons
labelled 'Radio club' and 'Funny'). The link is
http://www.stoneradio.com/listen/listen.asp, but it's a link within a
frameset-ed page, the url bar would remain http://www.stoneradio.com

2.  Click on the link (in Korean: '추천음악 (국내)' : set character coding to
UTF-8 in bugzilla to read the Korean string I'm entering here. ) just below
'Music Station' (in image)
The link URL is 'http://www.stoneradio.com/listen/musicstation_k.asp'

In place of step 1 and 2, you may directly go to 
http://www.stoneradio.com/listen/musicstation_k.asp?x=9&y=13&song%5B%5D=93189&p=2&m=1&g=popular
(this may not always work, though)

3a. Click on '모두선택' (next to  the image button '선택곡 듣기' and below 
'A B C D E ..... X Y Z 0-9'). The link URL is 'javascript:alloheok()'
(non-standard URL, but Mozilla is generous to understand 'javascript:....')

4a. All the songs in the page should be selected, but nothing happens
 
OR

3b. Click on the image button '선택곡 듣기' after selecting a few songs in the
list below. Windows Media Player should come up, but nothing happens. This image
button uses a dubious (apparently invalid) html construct. 


<input type=Image src=http://img.stoneradio.com/listen_img/play_selected.gif
align=absmiddle width=98 height=19 border=0 onClick="Javascript:selectedPlay();
return false;">

However, I'm not sure  whether  it's this invalid(?) construct or JS function
selectedPlay() that is that is the cause of Mozilla not working.   I haven't
taken a look at  'selectedPlay()', yet.
