189588 - navigation menu items don't change color

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P2)

Description

[Judson Valeski]

using winXP build 2003011713

The navigation bar on the left of said URL contains items like "news" "sports"
"TV" "Games" etc. If you move the mouse over those items, they are supposed to
change color (from blue to red) however, only the first on you hover over turns
color. Each time you hover over a new one, it should change color.

I *think* it's an image map.

wow, that's interesting html code

Yes, it is an imagemap. However, the text is not part of the map, but is just in
a <div>.

the code that gets run onmouseover of the area of the <map> is highly
interesting (http://cdn.netscape.com/_media/wpsite/ln.js)

anyway... not sure where this belongs...

Attachment: simplified testcase

I grabbed the source from home.netscape.com and just recreated
the map/area piece.  I embedded ln.js into the simplified test
so the only remaining external pieces are the CSS files
(but the 2nd is the "used" one)
http://cdn.netscape.com/_media/wpsite/tonr_pc_ns5.css

From the looks of this we are not doing "onmouseout"'s till we get off
the entire "map" instead of each individual area like ie/ns4 do.

Using Mozilla, to make the links "red" you need to move in and out 
from the right (or left), slowly and the cursor has to be dead on 
one of them (and not spanning another one at all).

Happens on Linux too. OS -> All.

jkeiser, know anything about this business of not firing mouseout events when we
should be?  ;)

I suspect this same problem is showing up when mousing over the menu images in
the middle of this URL http://www.gaiam.com/greenmarket/ - the status bar
changes only when you mouse in/out of the whole image.
