region has drop-down options when you mouse-over.


IE display the redrawn menu on top of the original drawn menu.

Actual Results:  
see details

Expected Results:  
Draw the "active" menu on top of the original version
The site uses a fairly complex menu system, but there seems to be a few errors
in http://www.nydailynews.com/includes/top_nav2/awmData-top_nav2/awmlib2.js
(line 33-34). Couldn't tell you the root of the problem but is most likely a
script issue and not a FF/Mozilla issue.

Strange... Linux FF 0.9.3 is WFM. Spinning my debug build right now, will check
there.

And where do you see the VBScript?

Either way, targeting for Evangelism.
