Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Lou Doucet]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050515 Firefox/1.0+

The selection thumbnails when viewed in Internet Explorer 6.0, AOL 9.0 SE, and
Netscape 8.0 Beta, display 5 across with arrows on each side to allow the viewer
to move back and forth through the photo thumbnails. In Firefox they are all
displayed in a single line and run off the screen, to the right.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.tomsavian.com/previous_work.htm and view it in any other brower.
2. Go to http://www.tomsavian.com/previous_work.htm and view it in Firefox.
3.

Actual Results:  
Thunbnails incorrectly displayed in Firefox.

Expected Results:  
Display the thumbnails five across with arrows to the left and right of them to
move to view the rest of them that are not currently displayed. 

I saw several other bug reports that I think the people were trying to say this,
but it was not very well explained.

before posting a bug of this nature it's going to help us if you can make sure
all your code validates with the w3c specifications for html and css.  For
instance you're missing a doctype declartion on your page.  To take a look at
what errors were returned i've posted the two validation links below.

The problem is that the script used to give that effect only checks for Netscape
or Internet Explorer, so it doesn't work with Firefox.

Lou, are you the webmaster? If not, do you think you could contact the webmaster
and let him know the script needs to be fixed?
