191106 - salamanderdesigns.com - Products drop down menu doesn't work in mozilla

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Jim Dunn]

Here is a snippet of code that they are using to query
browser name & type which they later use to create the
"Products" drop down menu

	var browserName = navigator.appName;	
	var normalbrowser = false;
	if( browserName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" ) normalbrowser = true;      
     

And later they have a "popup" function that uses normalbrowser to
determine of whether to use "layers" (navigator4) or regular html4/dom stuff.

	function popup( grpnumtmp ) {
	  outed = true;
	  //document.write( grpnum );
	  hidepop();
	  grpnum = grpnumtmp;
	  grpname = "popupgroup" + grpnum;
	  encname = "enc" + grpnum;
	  if( normalbrowser ) {
	    grp = eval( grpname );
	    grp.style.visibility = "visible";
	  }
	  else {
	    grp = document.layers[ encname ].layers[ 0 ].layers[ 0 ];
	    grp.visibility = "show";
	  }
	}

Note there are several other different pages that have the same 
issue under the salamander site.
