User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Hi, I have created with Veritas BackupExec v9.0 and v9.1 backups and then generated log files in HTML format. I then tried to review them with Mozilla v1.4.2, v1.7RC2, v1.8a1, and FireFox v0.8 under Windows NT 4.0 SP6a and Windows 2000. I have also installed Sun's Java RTM J2RE v1.4.2.03. I can open up the file but I am not able to expand or collapse any sections. However I can happily do this with Mircosofts Internet Exploder v6.0 + SP1. I have the assumption that Veritas has designed the documents to only open properly with IE. I can provide you with some sample log files. Is there any chance to review and maybe solve this matter? Thanks! --Christian Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Mozilla / FireFox 2. Open Vertias BackupExec v9.x log file Actual Results: Can't expand / collapse sections of the doucments Expected Results: Hopefully update Mozilla code to properly display Veritas Log files
can you attach one of these files via "create a new attachment" ?
Hi, I have uploaded a ZIP file that contains 6 sample log files for review. I hope they help you in finding a solution to the raised problem. Thanks. --Christian

when clicking on the '-' sign, JS console shows: Error: event is not defined source shows: [...] function outliner() { var srcElement = event.srcElement; [...] which will only work on IE. This URL shows the IE/Moz differences http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/w3c_events.html

Veritas needs to be contacted, if you're a customer, best way is to open a ticket/case/service request: http://seer.support.veritas.com/email_forms/ Their release notes 9.1/9.0 don't mention anything about fixing NS7/Mozilla compatibility: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/267182.htm
Hi Olivier, many thanks for all your efforts. I understand that the Mozilla folks will not sort out a deliberate standards violation from MS. I have reaised the matter with Veritas. I hope that they will fix this matter as I find it personally very dissatisfying if you must use Windows and IE to review logs. Thanks again. --Christian
Hi, I have been in discussion with Veritas and they only support the use of IE5.x when reviewing their log files. Is there anything else you can help me with? Many thanks. --Christian

So, window.event exists not, but this still doesn't work: > TypeError: srcElement.parentElement.parentElement.all But it also doesn't work in Chrome. I suggest we WONTFIX. If someone disagrees, please re-open and probably the best course of action is to get in touch with the site.
