Description

[Steve Fabiani]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

On the left side of the bottom nav bar on http://www.ki.com, 
mouseover "literature", displays a pop-up menu with two additional choices.  
This menu displays properly in both ie6 and Netscape 7.0.   In Firefox the pop-
up menu does not display and part of the literature menu graphic is partially 
munged and repeated at the far bottom left of the page.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try the following in Netscape 7, IE 6 and Firefox

1.  Load http://www.ki.com
2.  Roll your mouse over the word "::Literature."   The menu should pop-up.
3.  In Firefox only, observe the bottom left corner of the displayed page, just 
below the series of repeated horizontal lines.

Actual Results:  
In Firefox the pop-up menu does not display.  In addition, the "::Literature" 
menu element is displayed a second time at the bottom left.

Expected Results:  
should have behaved as in Netscape 7 and IE6, rendered the page properly.

They detect NS7 by looking for Netscape in the UA String. Spoofing the UA to NS7
makes the menu work. They need to get in the 21st century and stop this obsolete
browser detection *stuff*. Over to TE

Appears the site has been redesigned since this bug was open. Closing as INVALID (all the menus WFM though).
