Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mario Hug]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050131 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050131 Firefox/1.0+

In the page http://www.hhs.fuhsd.org/ the menu located on the left column
appears fine until the mouse is brought over the top of the menu.  The submenus
don't appear.  This does not occur using the MS Explorer browser.

The page is from Homestead High School, a public school.  Perhaps they have not
used standard coding.  I am no expert so I could not tell.

Here is some code where the problem occurs:

mymenu.addMenu("information","<b>information ></b>", "")
mymenu.addMenu("classes","<b>classes ></b>", "")
mymenu.addMenu("activities","<b>activities ></b>", "")
mymenu.addMenu("athletics","<b>athletics ></b>", "../../../groups/sports/")
mymenu.addMenu("services","<b>services ></b>", "")
mymenu.addMenu("staff","<b>staff ></b>", "")
mymenu.addMenu("library","<b>library</b>", "../../../groups/library/")
mymenu.addMenu("boosters", "<b>boosters></b>", "")
mymenu.addMenu("ptsa", "<b>ptsa></b>", "")
mymenu.addMenu("alumni","<b>alumni</b>", "/alumni/")
mymenu.addMenu("help desk","<b>help desk</b>", "../helpdesk/")

****** more details******
"library, alumni, & help desk" don't garble and behave correctly
and "athletic" doesn't garble but doesn't allow for sub menu




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the website http://www.hhs.fuhsd.org/
2.Slide mouse over the menu in the left column
3.Compare results using MS Explorer

Actual Results:  
Menu garbles and submenus cannot be accessed

Expected Results:  
Menu should stay readable and allow for submenu selection.

Problem has been around since the beginning of the school year.  It happens on
my desktop and laptop computers, both running XP.

http://www.hhs.fuhsd.org/ looks the same for me in IE6.0, Firefox v1.02 and
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050330
Firefox/1.0+

Reporter, is this still an issue for you? If not, it will get marked Invalid or
something.

This is no longer an issue since the web site was totally redone since the bug
was originally reported.

No, this is no longer an issue since the web site has a whole new look.  The web
site was updated since my original report.

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
