I have been using a real estate MLS program without incident until the last day
or so.  There are a series of tabs in raw you can click on to open differnt
pages and do different things.  Now when I try to click on one, as soon as the
pointer gets on top of it, it superimposes on one of the other tabs and I can do
nothing.  I have downloaded the most current version of firefox

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to wwww.crisnetmls.com
2.on the left side of the screen, try to clicl on Southern California alliance
3.

Actual Results:  
superimposes

Expected Results:  
open new windo to log in

This is a key tool for realtors as it allows you to search listings in multiple
MLS's....can not function without this

Attachment: document.all detection

The problem seems to be that we don't see "ie=(document.all != (void 0))" as a
detecting use of document.all, so we get identified as IE.

--> Browser's DOM: Level 0, since we do the same thing in 1.8a4 as we do in Firefox.

That's the same script that caused bug 255895.

bug 255895 is about changing javascript1.2 to not use strict (in)equality, but
not about changing the behavior with respect to (void 0). This needs evangelism.

updated menu available at
<http://www.ecommercetemplates.com/free_downloads.asp>. I contacted the site
about updating.

Bill, can you contact them? All they need to do is download the new
popouttext.js file and replace the existing one.

Sent email to [e-mail] about upgrading PopOutTextMenu.

Comment 9

[Steve Chapel]

It looks like they changed their menu system to one that works in Mozilla. Can
anyone reproduce a problem with the menus anymore?

Comment 10

[Steve Chapel]

The file https://www.crisnetmls.com/index_files/popouttext.js still has
PopOutTextMenu v1.2, but I can't find anywhere on the site they're using it
anymore. Closing as FIXED. Please re-open if the site still uses that file
somewhere.
