192240 - cookiecentral.com - incorrect browser identification in script

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Bjarne D Mathiesen]

The site uses an old version of coolmenus -
http://www.dhtmlcentral.com/projects/coolmenus/ - with this snip of code :

function checkBrowser(){
	this.ver=navigator.appVersion
	this.dom=document.getElementById?1:0
	this.ie5=(this.ver.indexOf("MSIE 5")>-1 && this.dom)?1:0;
	this.ie4=(document.all && !this.dom)?1:0;
	this.ns5=(this.dom && parseInt(this.ver) >= 5)?1:0;
	this.ns4=(document.layers && !this.dom)?1:0;
	this.bisw=(this.ie5 || this.ie4 || this.ns4 || this.ns5)
	return this
}

The site needs to upgrade to the lastest version of coolmenus

Result : the menus don't display correctly

The coolmenus script is broken on Mozilla (layout of top-level menu items is
vertical instead of horizontal) but for reference, the dropdowns don't actually
work on IE 6 SP 2 either.

Sent an e-mail using online help form

pointing them to newer version from comment 0, and explaining rendering issues
in firefox and internet explorer.

The layout is broken but there are no news since 2007, the message board URL is dead.....

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