32562 - internet.com - [LAYER] Not able to see mouseover drop down menus

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

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

Description

[ppandit]

Using seamonkey build (3/17/00) on Windows NT 4.0
Go www.internet.com
You will see 12 channels 
If you move your mouse over each of the 12 channels a drop-down menu gets 
displayed and you can select a link. This works on 4.72 and IE 5.0. But nothing 
gets displayed on seamonkey.

I will attach the HTML page.

can you reduce this to a simple test case?  also, would you try to find the 
right component for this?

Comment 3

[Richard Zach]

The drop-dwon menu relies on document.layers, document.all, and fails to detect
Mozilla correctly. See http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html for
details on standards-compliance in Mozilla, and which proprietary features of NS
4.x and IE will not be supported. 

Marking INVALID as per http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html#layerbugs

Comment 5

[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.

Reopening to register fact that this page probably isn't yet upgraded (until it 
is, at which point we'll close the bug). evangwanted.

Reassigning Evangelism bugs to me, the component's new owner.  I would like to
