Details

Using 3/1 build on Win 95, Win 98, Win NT, Linux and Mac8.5 (2/26 build).

Open the URL. There are 3 main columnar tables on the page. The table on
the left has an image heading titled 'Forbes Digital Tool'. About a third of the
way down the table there are two images titled 'Forbes MarketPlace' and
'Advertisers Information' that appear to 'clip on' to the table . The
javascript for these 'clip ons' is contained outside the HTML element tag. The
content of the script is as follows:

<DIV ID="menu1img"><A HREF="javascript:menu1.showElement()"><IMG
SRC="/tool/images/ad_info.gif" ALT="Advertisers Information" BORDER="0"
HEIGHT="130" WIDTH="15"></A></DIV>

<DIV ID="menu1box"><A HREF="http://www.cliquepoint.com/forbes">Clique</A><BR><A
HREF="http://www.bridge.com">Bridge</A><BR><A
HREF="http://www.gateway.com">Gateway</A><BR><A
HREF="http://www.oracle.com">Oracle</A><BR><A
HREF="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</A><BR><A
HREF="http://www.stockplayer.com">StockPlayer</A><BR></DIV>

<DIV ID="menu2img"><A HREF="javascript:menu2.showElement()"><IMG
SRC="/tool/images/fmarketplc.gif" ALT="Clique Samples" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="130"
WIDTH="15"></A></DIV>

<DIV ID="menu2box"><IMG SRC="/tool/images/clique.gif"  HSPACE="2"
ALIGN="right"><A HREF="http://www.cliquepoint.com/forbes">Forbes/Clique
Marketplace </A><BR><A HREF="http://www.forbes.com/subscribeindex.htm">Forbes
Subscriptions</A><BR></DIV>

Appears to be server-side javascript? Can't isolate any further.

Chris -- I need you to refresh my memory. What exactly is the problem?
Is it that the JS is not executing?
I isolated the test case to the following:

<html>
<body>
<div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

so that the only content in the HTML doc is the BODY element tag and the DIV
element tag. In this case, whether or not the DIV element(and contents)is
inside (http://slip/projects/marvin/bugs/forbes_div_inside.html) or outside
(http://slip/projects/marvin/bugs/forbes_div_outside.html) the HTML element tag,
the contents render correctly.

The problem does not seem to be whether the DIV element is inside or outside the
HTML element tag. I will research further.
