270185 - When viewing the Adverts from the bottom of an Eqqu mail, the timer that should display on the left in the white portion above the Ad-text is invisible when using Mozilla (the 'xxx' at the end of the URL changes with the advert being displayed).

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Kobus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.8a4 (Windows 200o SP4)

Eqqu emails pay the user for viewing adverts inserted at the bottom of an email
send to an Eqqu.com email address. The advert opens in a new window with a timer
(counting down) displayed in the white bar above the advert text. This timer is
not visible when using Mozilla. However, the area used by the timer can be seen
by moving the mouse over that portion of the screen - the shape of the mouse
cursor actually changes here. Viewing the same screen using Internet Explorer
produces the required result.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an Eqqu.com email account at www.eqqu.com use 2nd from left icon on
bottom blue bar (Should a referral be called for, you are welcome to use
'WealthArchitect')
2. Send an email to the Eqqu.com email account - log in to Eqqu and open the
email, wait a few moments for the Adverts to display towards the bottom of the
screen, then click on the blue line of the advert for it top dispplay.
3. Check the white bar above the advert text as described above under Details.

Actual Results:  
Amending various Mozilla options and settings do not seem to produce the
required result of making the "timer area" visible when using Mozilla,

Expected Results:  
The small "timer area" should be visible so the user knows what to do. Comparing
the screen when displayed using Internet Explorer shows what the expected result
should be.

None known, but you're welcome to contact me if anything seems to require
further clarification.

Made an Eqqu account for bugzilla:

There's a mail in there for testing.

The add shows up in a frameset with a top frame doing a counter. After the
countdown the page submits a fake form in the top form.
I'm attaching that top frame. 

The problem with the counter is with the window.hasFocus() function. That's not
implented in Mozilla.

hasFocus() is an MSIE-specific method

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods.asp

which is not supported by Mozilla. OTOH, DOM 2 events has the DOMFocusIn. 

Resolving as INVALID because the code of function count() will just do an
endless loop and that is what Mozilla must do when hasFocus() is not supported.

Reporter, please try to keep summary to strict minimum/reasonable length. If the
