208664 - archavoda.org.il: slide show and news scroller are broken - document.all

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Hebrew, defect)

The website of the Israeli Labour Party Archives uses document.all. As a result,
many of its features are broken.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open the above URL
Actual Results:  
- Under "Virtual Museum" there's a blank space
- News scroller is frozen

Expected Results:  
- Instead of a blank space there should be a slide show
- The news scroller should... scroll

Another problem with this site:

The search feature may seem as broken in Mozilla. It works fine if the user
presses the "Find" (חפש) icon, but if the user presses Enter, the wrong function
is used (index).

1. Open http://www.archavoda.org.il/avodaarch/Searching/index.asp
2. Enter the hebrew word "Avoda" - עבודה
3. Press Enter

Actual Results: The results page only includes three columns - copy,
name&description and number of results. On further investigation, this (rather
useless) page is the Index page (same as pressing the binoculars icon)

Expected Results: The results page should display 8 columns (much more
information). Compare with IE6.

Using 1.8a3/20040806 there are a couple of changes:

The Virtual Museum now works.

> - News scroller is frozen

The news scroller scrolls, but is white-on-white and overlaps the main text.

I'm leaving this bug open for now.

News scroller now scrolls, I think that the bug should be closed.
