(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[logan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

When you mouseover the main tabs at the top of bestbuy.com, a submenu appears.
If you attempt to click on an item the submenu disappears and the click is
passed through to any urls on the main website.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto bestbuy.com
2. Mouseover Computers
3. Click on the Monitors menu item

Actual Results:  
Submenu closes, click is passed to the LOTR link, which happens to be below the
Monitors submenu item, and that page loads instead.

Expected Results:  
Bring up the Monitors sub-section.

This was tested (on linux) with Mozilla 1.0.2, 1.3.1 and 1.4 as well as Firebird
0.6. Someone mentioned Phoenix 0.5 worked, I cannot verify this.

I've sent some feedback through their website, prolly goes to their sales
people, so it might just get trashed. :P

website is down right now, but the problem you're seeing is that clicking fires
mouseout, which hides the menu (and THEN the click gets processed)

Good grief, that's an old bug.

Clicking on the actual tabs don't seem to work consistently for me either. Works
once, after that nothing.
