Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Jim Toon]

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

In the page at http://usa.asus.com/index.htm , all javascript links are totally
ignored.  The background behind the link text normally changes color on mouse -
over but not with Mozilla. No text appears in the Status Bar on mouse - over,
nor does the mouse pointer change to the finger icon.  This is true with both
FireFox 1.0 and Mozilla 1.7.5 .  Some text links near the bottom of the page
work correctly.  All items on the page appear to function correctly in MS-IE6
and Opera.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://usa.asus.com/index.htm
2.Try to click any of the links at top of page: About ASUS, Products, Support,
etc. or any item in the "Hot Products" box at left.
3. 
Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
On mouse - over, mouse pointer should change to finger, button or drop-down menu
should appear behind text, link target text should appear in the Status Bar. 
Clicking link should open the target URL.

I have noticed similar problems with several pages, this one is a good example
which does not require a login.

The flash is above the menu. They set the flash to z-index:1 but I can't find
that they set the menu above it. It seems to work if I set "z-index:-1" for the
flash but I don't know why this should work in IE.

<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:200px; height:115px; z-index:1;
left: 4px; top: 3px;">

</object>
</div>

-> Layout but this should be tech evangelism

-> invalid

This also doesn't work with IE5.01, Opera6.01 because the flash is above the menu
