[James Klinger]

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

The 10 X 10 web site selects the 100 most mentioned and seen words and pictures
from a variety of news sources around the globe and coalesces them into a single
photographic grid that is refreshed every hour on the hour. The site works
properly with IE, launching the automated review of the 100 images as chosen by
user, but fails to launch the automation with Firefox 1.0 and Netscape 7.2.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. http://www.tenbyten.org/now.html
<a href=" http://www.tenbyten.org/now.html  ">Click here</a
2.When site opens, click on, " >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Launch 10x10" at bottom
of picture grid.
3. You should receive an enhanced grid of 100 individually selcectable images
with a scrollable list on the right side of the grid containing individually
selectable descriptive words for each of the images...selecting a word from the
list should produce a popup window for the image with additional selections for
related headline storiew.....this does not occur with either Firefox or Netscape.

Actual Results:  
A web page containing this info appears: 
"10x10
100 Words and Pictures that Define the Time.
This is Now | About 10x10 | Developer? | Press"
The first and third line above are linked....clicking the first line link
"10x10" returns you to http://www.tenbyten.org/now.html from whence you
originated....the process never launches.

Expected Results:  
You should receive an enhanced grid of 100 individually selcectable images with
a scrollable list on the right side of the grid containing individually
selectable descriptive words for each of the images...selecting a word from the
scrollable list should produce a popup window for the image with additional
selections for related headline storiew.....this does not occur with either
Firefox or Netscape.


Until I can access all sites with Firefox, I must keep IE on my PC.......:(

You might try starting a new profile, and seeing that your version of Flash is
current.
