205242 - Moving advert makes rest of page unaccessible.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 205165

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Currently (and this may change) there is an advertisement by "Tractor Supply
Company" - www.mytscstore.com - above the main content of ESPN.com's front page.
 It is a flash ad which starts out about three times the height of a normal
banner ad (displacing the main ESPN page's content downwards) and which
collapses after a second or two to the size of a normal banner ad.

When the ad shrinks, the rest of the page scrolls up and is corrupted.  The page
does not redraw correctly, links do not work, and content cannot be selected.

While I am using Moz 1.4b, I have heard that this is a frequent problem on
ESPN.com for all flavors of Mozilla.  Another user remarked, "... every time
espn does one of these fancy 'moving layer' ads, i have to go over to cnnsi for
a day or two until they take it down."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.espn.com
