Go the www.profibus.com site. Click the "Technology" tab at top. Click the
"technical Description" link. When the page appears, there is a tree structure
with tabs on the right saying "Profibus" and "Profinet".  In IE, this retracts
when the mouse is moved off of it revealing text underneath. In Mozilla 1.2.1 it
does not retract and always covers the text. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.profibus.com
2. Click technology tab
3. Clikc technology description link
4. Tree structure in box on left never retracts.

Actual Results:  
Tree structure never retracts

Expected Results:  
When page with tree appears, it should be minimized on left revealing on the
tabs labeled profibus and profinet

JavaScript console shows many errors:

Error: mdl_getLayerLeft is not defined
Source File: http://www.profibus.com/js/profibus.js
Line: 572
[...]

Eventhough http://www.profibus.com/js/profibus.js seems to handle NS6.

Why evangelism and not a browser bug/issue? 

because a decision was made years ago not to support layers. whatever the merit
of that decision then, the fact that we haven't supported layers in mozilla
since the beginning means that it is very difficult to add it later due to
browser detections issues.

regardless, this site has updated their content and now appears to be fixed.
