Page above has pictures of houses cycled using Javascript (Bad Choice). Open

disappear.</BOLD>

the print window and make it impossible to click the buttons.

Java is not Javascript. The images are being displayed with Java.

In any case, I do not see this behavior. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686;

I'm seeing similar, but not identical behavior in 2005033110 on OSX 10.3.8.  The
animations from the reporters link will bleed over to all other tabs within the
same window, but don't bleed into other windows.  No effect on print dialog either.

See same behavior with JS animations at bottom of intellicast page here:

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
