20985 - [LAYER] Layout is totally messed up

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P2)

Description

[Roman R.]

Build 12/06/99.

There's too much to describe. Load the URL in Mozilla and another browser for
comparison and notice misplaced elements:
- an ad image (its URL is placed in place of the image, the image itself is
shifted to the right);
- URL's href fields are displayed instead of text;
- a whole column is shifted to the right.
- and image is displayed with scrollbars -- there shouldn't be any scrollbars.

It's just a total mess!

INVALID. LAYER, ILAYER, document.layers[] not supported in Gecko/Nav5. Closed.
Notified reporter and site owner via template at
http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/fixit/layer.html
In the future, if possible, please INVALID, notify, and close such bugs directly
using that template without assigning to me. Thanks!

Agreed. Marking as verified invalid.

Moving all [LAYER] bugs to Evangelism component for tracking and open-source
evangelism by mozilla community members of sites that need to upgrade to support 
web standards such as HTML 4.0 (instead of LAYER/ILAYER) and the W3C DOM
(instead of Nav4 document.layers[] or IE document.all()). Sites should be
lobbied to do the upgrade using the email templates that are linked to from
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html#layerbugs . When a site's owner
has confirmed receipt of the message requesting an upgrade, the bug should be
marked with the keyword evangelized to indicate that evangelism for that bug is
complete. When the site finishes the upgrade and supports standards, the bug
should be closed.

Reassigning Evangelism bugs to me, the component's new owner.  I would like to 
take this opportunity to thank [e-mail] for all of his dedication, 
contributions, and hard work, and wish him luck at his new job.  Thanks, nobody.

Removing the evangwanted keyword from 49 evangilizm bugs that also 
have the evangelized keyword. Having both of these keywords on a bug 
makes it really hard to do a query for all open evangilizm bugs that are 
evangwanted. Sorry for the spam.

-> [e-mail] for my evangelism bugs.

removing the now-depreciated evangelism-related keywords.

setting platform to All.

This site has moved, the redirect site uses standards-compliant code. In fact
the new code is really excellent, kudos to whoever coded that.
Marking fixed.

All Evangelism Bugs are now in the Product Tech Evangelism. See bug 86997 for
