i tested with a recent bightly build.Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0;
en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040601 Lightningbug/0.8.the problem still persits
I tested this with the just released Firefox 0.9 and the nightly build, and the
problem is still there.

I'm running Linux under Mandrake 10. It's not a problem with the JDK (I'm using
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_04-b05, mixed mode)) as the applet works
fine in the Konqueror browser that comes with Mandrake.KDE.

The applet loads but only renders the first two lines of the live timing screen,
when the applet is showing times from F1 practice, or qualifying sessions.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9
The URL shjuld be changed - the actual URL changes depending on the race etc, it
can always be accessed though from the URL I have pasted in - just click on the
live timing logo. eg. today its 

http://www.formula1.com/race/livetiming/722.html
I confirm too. It is not working. it has even closed the browser when I closed
the pop-up window... talk-back has not appeared to report the problem.
When reopened the browser it look a long time (lot of file zone activity).
I've tested this with builds before 2004-05-20 and it was not working.
I am currently using Firefox 0.9 and Java 1.4.2_03.
However IE is using same Java VM from SUN and is working just right.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

Does not work in firefox 0.9.3 too.

please do not set "+" on a bug flag unless you are one of drivers@mozilla.org or
the Aviary team. thanks.
Flags: blocking-aviary1.0+
Please can the OS be changed to ALL on this.

It would also be nice for someone from the development team to at least
acknowledge this bug and accept it. The fact that it has been open for 4 months
is somewhat galling.

Please note also that there is a degree of time pressure here - there are  only
3 races in the F1 season left this year, so you haven't got long to look at the
problem.

My guess is that, seeing as the applet works fine in other browsers using the
same JDK, the problem lies in the Javascript surrounding the applet rather than
the applet itself. The Javascript in the page is not IE specific, as it runs
fine in Netscape and Konqueror.


Any updates? no one has even confirmed this bug?

No one will be able to properly test this until the first race of the season, as
the web site is not broadcasting live timing at the moment. There is a
possibility that this bug will be re-opened on 4th March 2005.

I checked with this URL now:
http://www.formula1.com/race/livetiming/popup/732.html . Looks like the bug
still exists. Please verify.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: WORKSFORME → ---
This bug still exists. Please check the site this weekend, you will see the
original problem as reported still exists.

Looks like I will have to use IE in the meantime - arrrrrgh !

Not a duplicate of 236761. Bug 236761 is Linux only, this is for Windows and Linux.

Please re-open, and see comment 4 or my comment on 236761 about the URL to test
this bug on, as the URl changes from race to race.

The current URL is http://www.formula1.com/race/livetiming/735.html

but I re-iterate the fact, it changes from race to race. It is extremely easy to
replicate the bug, just follow the live timing links off http://www.formula1.com/
Bug 236761 is not Linux-only. It is was initially reported on Windows and Linux,
and its OS field is set to ALL per the duplicates.

This bug is clearly a duplicate of bug 236761. Same symptoms on the same URL
(the last number is different, but it changes for every race as you noted). So
unless the person who *works* on that bug decides they need different bugs for
different OSes, I will not reopen this one.

Please calm down and do not add unnecessary comments to bug 236761. In
particular, please do not add "This is still a problem" (unless it's necessary)
or advocacy comments. It goes against bugzilla etiquette (which you should have
already read).

Do add useful comments, such as information when the URL in question can be
tested (can this be tested at any time of the week?) or a testcase page that
always demonstrates the bug.
(Duplicate bugs are seldom read, I should have migrated your comment 4 to that
bug, apologies for not doing that. I'll reopen bug 236761.)
Thanks for re-opening the other bug, and apologies for my rant.
