35651 - 21years.com - proprietary NS4/IE4 javascript is used for DHTML

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[John Zheng]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; N; Win95; en-US) Mozilla/m13 <-I downloaded
m14, but it says m13 here, I don't know why.
BuildID:    2000022820

Those blue and red balls suppose to run around the mouse curser, but in this
build of mozilla, they just stay there, won't move at all.

It works in netscape 4.x and IE4(+).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.just open that page, u'll see it.


Actual Results:  you see some static "ball" images on top half of the screen.

Expected Results:  those "balls" suppose to follow and run around the mouse.

I tried this at home(win98 and win2k), also at school(win95). with newest
version of Mozilla and/or Netscape6 PR1.

Site relies on document.layers, document.all, and fails
to detect client 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

[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.

Mass confirming Evangelism bugs to get off the Unconfirmed radar

Comment 7

[Zach Lipton [:zach]]

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.

details.

[Zach Lipton [:zach]]

Mass reassign of all tech-evangelism us general bugs assigned to bc to 
doron except bc's P1 bugs. You may search for this mass reassign (it is 
305 bugs) by searching for the keyword 'greeneggsandham'

Site has totaly changed but is still not standards compliant. Changing URL to
reflect changes, changing summary from "21years.com - [LAYER] "Circling ball"
script won't run" to "21years.com - proprietary NS4/IE4 javascript is used for
DHTML".

Problems in this site are caused by the functions defined here:
http://www.21years.com/overlib.js

They only check for NS4 and IE4 (document.layers / document.all)

Contact address is [e-mail]

http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/

This looks FIXED by a site redesign; I don't see any balls trying to chase my cursor around any more.
