#0. Go to url: http://beta.search.msn.com
#1. click on "Search Builder+"
#2. click on "results ranking"
#3. slide the bars.

Notice that sliding it up and down quickly to the top/bottom, the text "Slide
the bars to weight these factors. Learn more." starts to move around. It also
loses it's background color. There is also some weird refresh bugs where the
text "Exact Match" at the bottom of the slider will appear to bounce up and down
as you slide it's slider.

Basically looks like a bunch of javascript that is handling everything...the
slider is defined in this file...

Firefox 1.0 exhibits identical behavior, so this is a Browser bug rather than a
Camino-specific one.

Reassigning to "Browser" and editing summary to include "JavaScript" and "DHTML".

(This is my first use of "editbugs" and I think I'm doing everything correctly,
but please berate me if I didn't :)

my guess is that this is probably cross platform as well, not mac-specific. can
someone confirm?

This needs a minimal testcase...

Please recheck this bug against a recent nightly build[1] to verify that the
behavior still exists and post the results here.

Also, please supply a testcase to help others verify this behavior.

Thanks.

Microsoft and their Search...
Well, the problematic page is gone and the current Live Search works for me.
