30662 - linuxppc.com - [LAYER] fails to display correctly

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P3)

Description

[Adam]

Mozilla Mac M15 (2000030508), Mac OS 9.

Go to http://www.linuxppc.com/

Once the page loads, the text appears on the screen but the title graphic and
sidebar don't show up. If you scroll down you'll find that they actually drew
after the main text body. The layout appears to be done using tables. There are
other errors in the way the page is drawn (the left sidebar's rounded edges
appear in the middle of the sidebar) and the Linux penguin graphic doesn't
appear inside the title graphic like it should.

You should be able to go to LinuxPPC.com and have it display correctly (as
it does in every other browser).

In Moz Mac M15 (as well as the M14 milestone), it does not.

Site relies on LAYER tags, which are not supported by Mozilla. See
http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html.  Feedback sent to webmaster.
Marking INVALID as per http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html#layerbugs.

Verified.

Comment 3

[ekrock's old account (dead)]

Moving all [LAYER] bugs to Evangelism component for tracking and open-source
evangelism by mozilla community members of sites that need to upgrade to support 
web standards such as HTML 4.0 (instead of LAYER/ILAYER) and the W3C DOM
(instead of Nav4 document.layers[] or IE document.all()). Sites should be
lobbied to do the upgrade using the email templates that are linked to from
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html#layerbugs . When a site's owner
has confirmed receipt of the message requesting an upgrade, the bug should be
marked with the keyword evangelized to indicate that evangelism for that bug is
complete. When the site finishes the upgrade and supports standards, the bug
should be closed.

Reassigning Evangelism bugs to me, the component's new owner.  I would like to 
take this opportunity to thank [e-mail] for all of his dedication, 
contributions, and hard work, and wish him luck at his new job.  Thanks, nobody.

Removing the evangwanted keyword from 49 evangilizm bugs that also 
have the evangelized keyword. Having both of these keywords on a bug 
makes it really hard to do a query for all open evangilizm bugs that are 
evangwanted. Sorry for the spam.

Since LinuxPPC.com still doesn't display correctly, I decided to stroll through 
the source. I didn't find a single instance where layers were used. I might have 
missed something, though, so if anybody has spare time to check into this, that 
would be great.

Can't find a problem matching the description. I'm assuming the site has
changed. Marking WFM. Opened bug 92389 about another issue.
