33562 - Crashes on rare occasions, some lost functionality, text overflow

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 21560

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

BuildID:    2000032708

hope I'm not just adding a useless bug, but I visit ESPN.com a lot..
first off, there are some tabs, like file folders that lead to extra info on top
sports..they don't work in moz..there's a LOT of text overflow all over, tho I
noticed one or two that have recently occured in Netscape 4.x as well, so could
be code problem.  Justification of everything left/right seems good and MOST
everything is in the right place.  There's just so much that runs over and those
darn non-working tabs....on VERY rare occasions the tabs will cause a program
crash, but I THINK that's a Windows thing, cause I've had Netscape RANDOMLY
crashing lately when I just click a button.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Browser
2.Open http://www.espn.com
3.Gawk at page that looks slightly funky and click buttons that don't work


Actual Results:  I said, "Damn, that page doesn't work right!"	

Expected Results:  Made the page work right.  I know most of us geeks don't care
about sports, but some do!  As for WHAT the problem is, I'm at a loss.

Thanks for filing this report.

Just on the point of the tabs not working ... this is due to the content
in the ESPN page -- they are using document.layers as test for "is this
Netscape" -- they need to make a few simple changes to get this to work
using the W3C DOM. 

  //For example (not literally what they do, but close)
  if (document.all) {
    // toggle panels for IE 4/5
  } else if (document.layers) {
    // toggle panels for Nav4.x
  }
  // hey, what about Mozilla/W3C -- 'document.getElementById'

Otherwise, the text layout issues were covered in bug 21560.
