User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040218

Selecting any of the 'Show Code' links on these pages produces :

Error: Structure is not defined
Source File: http://www.dofactory.com/Patterns/PatternAbstract.aspx
Line: 1044

in the JavaScript console. This is not enough to say if it is an evangalism
problem (good luck, this is a pro M$ site :-(  ) or a genuine bug in Mozilla.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
I.E. displays, in-line, a code snippet and the 'Show Code' changes to 'Hide Code'

It is, if you look at the source.... ;)

I see this also, Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7a)
Gecko/20040219 Firefox/0.8.0+

and I get these messages:

JavaScript error:

The page has over 700 validation errors. The problem probably lies in the
ShowHide function at the end of this page

I took these steps and i was not able to reproduce this bug, perhaps because i am on Windows XP while above are running Linux and Mac OS X

1. Navigate to http://www.dofactory.com/Patterns/PatternAbstract.aspx
(this brings me to a orange and white site that says "Data & Object factory" on the top) 
2. Scroll down till you see "sample code in C#" Then click the "Show code" link
(This expanded and showed some C# source code and turned the link from 
"show code" to "Hide code")


I got the same result when using internet explorer.

This now seems to be working in the Linux version. I've just tested it with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6.

We could close this or wait for the person who found it on the OSX version to report back.

I see the same, and with no error messages.

Looks like all is ok now so suggest closure...
