290141 - 2-sir.com - That page will not display in Firefox 1.0.2; It works fine in IE and my old Netscape.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[George Edw. Seymour]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

Have no idea why Firefox won't open that page.  I wrote that page years ago and
never had any problems with Netscape.  And it still works in IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try http://www.2-sir.com/CyberSite2/  in Internet Explorer
2.  Try http://www.2-sir.com/CyberSite2/  in Firefox 1.0.2
3.

Actual Results:  
The page will not load.  It looks like it is trying.  I have enabled images and
allow Java and Javascript.  It is an approved pop up site.  Don't know what else
to do. 

Expected Results:  
Loaded that great page, just like InterNet Explorer.
Thanks,  George

None.

Not a Firefox bug, the reason that the pages reloads all the time is this:

if (!document.all && !document.layers)
          {
          document.location="index.html"
          }

George, comment 1 tells you exactly why the page isn't working. You need to fix the code.

I'm going to ignore the usual rule that Bugzilla is not a tech support forum because the reporter and the target of the Tech Evangelism are the same person in this case. If you have any questions about how to fix this, George, please feel free to ask. The easiest way to fix it will be to remove those four lines of JavaScript.
