Original bug 294896 was fixed, but a new problem seems to be there.
The list displays in the scrolling window (you'll see it if you go to the
website).  But in IE, the list also displays when you place your mouse over
"Alternate Menu" written vertically, immediately to the right of the scrolling
window.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load website.
2.Wait until list is scrolling in upper left window.
3.Place mouse over "Alternate Menu" written vertically in Blue immediately to
the right of the scrolling list.


Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
It should display the scrolling list in a 'solid' form immediately to the right
of the "Alternate Menu".

It requires java(tm)
Did you enable Java ?
Do you use the latest java plugin (Sun) ?

(I'm not going to try a page with more ads than usefull content so I can't tell
if it works or not)

This is due to the outdated/crappy JavaScript browser sniffer they use:


     NS4 = (document.layers);
     IE4 = (document.all);
    ver4 = (NS4 || IE4);
	 IE5 = (IE4 && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("5.")!=-1);
   isMac = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") != -1);
  isMenu = (NS4 || (IE4 && !isMac) || (IE5 && isMac));
function popUp(){return};
function popDown(){return};
if (!ver4) event=null;

As you see, the popUp function does nothing, but later on it is replaced in an
external JavaScript file, but its not loaded in Firefox, since they check
if(isMenu)

which is false in Firefox

Someone mentioned that it was the gold-eagle's website that has some problems in
their programming.  I'm not saying they don't.  But the page does display
correctly in Explorer.
