26807 - [EVENTTARG]position : absolute interfering with listbox

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[Walter Ebeling]

Hi!

The homepage of Mercury Interactive is showing two bugs (?):

1)

The Homepage of Mercury is using Menues that start at some tabs "Company"
"Products" etc. These are not working at all.

2)

The Listbox "Worldwide..." is not working at all.

I am using the Build 2000012520 on a WinNTsp4 System. Navigator 4.6 is
displaying the page correctly.

Regards,

Walter Ebeling

www.merc-int.com: In the future can you please refrain from putting two problems
in the same bug. It makes it difficult to put the bug in a single component and
increases the chance that it will simply be marked invalid.

Looking at point 1, in Netscape 4 this site uses Layers which are not and never
will be supported in Mozilla. It is up to the site's owner to rewrite this site
to support Mozilla. Thus this point is invalid.

Point 2 is more interesting - I'm not sure why the listbox is not working.
Changing component and bug title.

BTW: The first point in my previous comment was meant to be addressed to Walter 
not www.merc-int.com...

The problem appears to be that the position : absolute in a DIV tag is causing 
the listbox to stop functioning. If you look at the attached testcase, moving 
your pointer up to the top left hand corner of the screen makes the pointer 
turn into a hand. This does not happen in IE 4. Also, clicking on the listbox 
where the pointer does not turn into a hand does nothing. This also does not 
happen in IE 4.

Since the listbox is being interfered with, I'm going to leave this in the 
XPWidgets component. Adding css2 keyword and changing title.

This is actually HTML Form Controls ... over to rods/ckritzer.

Joki, this is a dup (I think) a hidden div is on top of the select and is 
grabbing all the events.

I think this is now fixed, since it was a duplicate of one of the other event
targetting bugs...

Are there other problems on the page that need to be filed?

nominating for nsbeta2 based on:
 - severity
 - visibility
 - major functionality broken
 - feature (CSS Level 2 Standards Compliance) broken

Checked this out on:
 - MacOS9 2000-04-21-16-M16 Commercial Build
 - Linux6 2000-04-26-08-M16 Commercial Build
 - Win98 2000-26-11-M16 Mozilla Build
 - WinNT 2000-21-09-M16 Commercial Build

...and here's what I've found:

1) The Homepage of Mercury is using Menues that start at some tabs "Company"
"Products" etc. These are not working at all.

This has been addressed as being LAYERs related.  LAYER tag not supported in 
HTML 4.0 (or NS6).

2)The Listbox "Worldwide..." is not working at all.

Works for me on all the above mentioned platforms/builds.

Marking WORKSFORME.
