238047 - Apparent Javascript bug with scrolling active areas

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 80479

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jim Madar]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7

The second page (the initial page is just advert - need to click through) should
show moving active areas some rising from the bottom of the screen others
descending from the top to form a line allowing the user to select films,
cinemas &c.

I have tried this in both Firefox, Camino (and Safari - not your problem) and it
will not provide a working web page. However, surprise, it does work in MS IE 5.x.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to site http://www.odeon.co.uk
2. click through first page
3. 

Actual Results:  
get a page with ODEON background graphic and no active content

Expected Results:  
should have seen outline boxes towards top & bottom of the screen moving to
align themselves in the top 1/3 of the screen to act as a menu bar. These box
areas should be sensitive to mouseover.

Nothing obvious - this is vanilla build of MacosX 10.2 with up to date patching.

If I have duplicated a bug, accept my apologies - I did search but nothing
looked quite the same.

I think that I am seeing the same as you do & it looks to me as though
the error is in the "Javascript" file that you indicate, which is part of the 
Odeon site.

If I were trying to debug the Odeon's code for them, I would look at the
vars calque and calque2, as the expression

var c = calque.split('|');

doesn't seem to be doing anything useful, but I may be wrong.

If the code is not Javascript, but is in some other language, then Firefox
(and other standards conforming browser would be unlikely to
handle it until a suitable interpreter is provided.

Before getting too deeply involved in this, I suggest checking Bug 80479
which has several duplicates.
