272230 - specific website not well rendered

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tomas Cohen Arazi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In the page http://www.clarin.com, shockwave-flash images are not placed well
(it does in several other browsers like IE, Opera...)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.clarin.com

Actual Results:  
The page is not loaded correctly. Shockwave-flash images(movies?) are placed
over the text on the right. It should be visible by the middle of the page.

Expected Results:  
The page should be rendered correctly.

I think it's a bug in the rendering engine, because if you use this sequence you
get the page correctly rendered:

1.Use Ctrl - to decrement the fontsize (three times should be enough).
2.Go back to the original size using Ctrl +.

Website is using unsupported by the W3C javascript constructs. (no
getElementById() but direct accessing the id in the global scope) 

Furthermore the website is using the flash-javascript setvariable() function
which seems to be bug 219471. Not sure if it's a problem here, maybe the
javascript console is just reporting that because the element is accessed
incorrectly (as described above).

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
