26680 - Two adverts being displayed where there should be one

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 82954

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

I've got a feeling that this is one of those "we don't support Moz 5" bugs.

I suspect that the server doesn't send back any javascript if the browser is 
wbetv or ie because those were the only browsers that understood IFRAME *and* 
Javascript.

Expected:
One advert.

Result:
Two.

Build ID: 2000020414 WinNT 4 PS6.

Actually, what I'm seeing in the source is different from the attatched

testcase.  The html in the page looks very wrong, and I'm not sure what

the author is doing.  There is one opening script tag and two closing

script tags, but in the javascript, there is another opening and closing

script tag written in an odd fashion using document.writeln.  I think the

author is using some wierd differences between the two browsers to do

cause different html to be displayed on each browser.



I'm thinking that this bug should be marked invalid and the author be

notified that they're html is not standards complient and should be changed.

The problem occurs because mozilla now supports iframes.  The page displays
the banner in an iframe and then if the browser isn't IE or webtv, it
displays the banner a second time.  This second time is meant for 4.x which
doesn't show the iframe banner because it isn't supported.  So, mozilla
does the right thing and shows both banners.  The web page should be
changed to accomodate the new, more standards compliant, mozilla browser.
