Look like javascript new html fails to scroll down existing html before adding
it self to page.

Maybe javascript is not properly written in this site, i don't know. Webmaster
advised two days ago, still no response.

Tested in Mozila 1.4 and Mozila Firebird 0.6.1, both do the same overwritting.
iExplorer V6.0.26 did it right.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://sync.es/alojamientos/paneldecontrol-linux.php
2. scrool down and click on "gestion del correo electronico"


Actual Results:  
New html will overwrite existing one from the line you clicked down.

Expected Results:  
Scroll down existing html under the text you clicked, then add the new one.

Mozilla (and e.g. Konqueror, too) does what the webmaster wants it to do:

function despliegue(n){

	eval ("if (document.getElementById('scroller"+n+"').style.overflow=='auto') {
cambio='visible'; } else { cambio='auto'; }");
	
	if (document.getElementById('scroller1')) {
document.getElementById('scroller1').style.overflow='auto'; } 
	if (document.getElementById('scroller2')) {
document.getElementById('scroller2').style.overflow='auto'; }
	if (document.getElementById('scroller3')) {
document.getElementById('scroller3').style.overflow='auto'; }
	if (document.getElementById('scroller4')) {
document.getElementById('scroller4').style.overflow='auto'; }
	if (document.getElementById('scroller5')) {
document.getElementById('scroller5').style.overflow='auto'; }
	
	eval("document.getElementById('scroller"+n+"').style.overflow=cambio;");
}


This should be done with a display: block / display:none switch.

Hence, this is an evangelism bug.

Also, the summary of this bug is wrong. The html is not created via JavaScript,
it's static. JavaScript is only used to change the overflow property.

Sorry my initial description was a little wrong, I've changed a little...
javascript is not my strongest point. Also the "product" was misschosen as
javascript, but i have no idea what "Evangelism" is or where the bug really came
from... it didn't seem as a religious problem to me ;)
