Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 136407

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Heule Daniel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050602 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050602 Firefox/1.0.4

This JS capture the X Position of the mouse curser:

function handleMove (ev) {
  if (!ev)
  ev = window.event;
  var mausposition = ev.pageX ? ev.pageX : ev.clientX;
  if (mausposition < 20) {
    Menue();
  } else {
    if (mausposition > 400) {
      noMenue();
    }
  }
}

function Event_init () {
  if (document.addEventListener) {
    document.addEventListener("mousemove", handleMove, true);
  } else {
    if (NS4) {
      document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
      document.onmousemove = handleMove;
    } else {
      document.body.onmousemove = handleMove;
    }
  }
  if (OP) {
    NavLinksPos = 20; // Position des Bereiches NavLinks
        getElement("id", "NavLinks").style.pixelTop = NavLinksPos;
  }
}


It works great, but when i go to a pulldown menu on the page and pull it down
and move the coursor over the pulldown box, the coordinate from ev.pageX are
relative to the pulldown box, not relative to the left window (or page) side.

this is not the way how is desc in the w3c standards.

Cann somewone help me and correct the problem ?
Thank's Daniel Heule

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the url above in firefox
2. open the pulldown menu
3. 

Actual Results:  
the menu apear, but it shuld only when the mouse cursor is ober the left 20 px.

Expected Results:  
display only the pulldown box, and send pageX coordinates of the page (not the
pulldown box) to the event handler !

In Conquerror, MSIE and others it work's like expected.

And in Bug 136407 was nothing done for over 3 years ??

In the newest Firefox release, the bug is not fixed, so i thougth i make a new
bugreport pointing out that the problem was and is not solved !

For me its a realy important, so i must use other browsers until the problem is
fixd ;-((( but my favorite browser is firefox.
