I don't understand much in this, but it looks that behavior described here is
absolutely unrelated to bug 133214. Are you sure it's a duplicate. Or is it
because 'ynet.co.il does not support mozilla' statement?

Olivier Cahagne, I agree with comment 2, this really doesn't look like a dupe of
bug 133214. Are you sure about that?

I'd be happy to, but unfortunately, I don't have Bugzilla privileges :-(

reopening, please provide some analysis otherwise it won't get as much attention
from the (overloaded) mozilla developers and evangelists.

I believe that the technical analysis is spot on.

Now, my suggestions for someone with Bugzilla privileges:

1. Change Summary to "ynet.co.il: news ticker does not scroll - document.all"
2. Change Product to Tech Evangelism.
3. Change Component to Hebrew.
4. Change both Hardware and OS to All.
5. Mark Bug 217440 as a dupe of this one.

Thanks,

Prog.

As said previously, there are some usages of document.all.
There also undefined variables (e.g. aTicker). I think that IE implicitely
define variable for element with an id attribute.

the news ticker now works, for quite some time now. it is loaded in an iframe
from http://www.ynet.co.il/Ext/Comp/Ticker/Dhtml_Ticker/0,10016,L-184,00.html .

Resolving as FIXED. The new ticker works here as well (1.6 under WinXP and OS
X). It is rather slow on the Mac (G4/450), but still scrolls.
