Steps to reproduce:

- Go to http://www.parapsy.nl/
- Hover over the menus on top 

Result: they don't expand anymore
An error is present in the error console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Node cannot be used in a document other than the one in which it was created"  code: "4" nsresult: "0x80530004 (NS_ERROR_DOM_WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR)"  location: "http://www.parapsy.nl/coolmenus3.js Line: 343"]

Regression between 2006-11-22:09 and 2006-11-22:11:

If i remember correctly Coolmenus3 doesn't work correctly with firefox (browser checking error), unsure if this works with Gecko at all. Also unsure about why it worked for you previously. Maybe firefox got an updated user agent string in the regression window you found?

Contact person for the site is fred at melssen.nl
I'll drop him a line later today.

Works fine in branch.

Bug 47903 was an intentional bug trunk-only change, so this can still be Tech Evang.
Yeah, this is still a tech evang issue. Even if it wasn't, it certainly isn't a Firefox::General bug. Please use Core::General for bugs like this in the future.

That's why i used General since it was not obvious to me [or others ;)] which specific category would fit best. Anyhoo, it was my understanding that in principle changes in Gecko couldn't be related to Tech Evang bugs, as Tech Evang bugs more or less per definition are not related to changes in the Moz code base.

But i guess that making us more compliant can actually break compatibility with certain site.

Sure, but you still used the wrong Product. Core::General and Firefox::General are not the same thing.

That's not my definition of "Tech Evang" :). In this case the decision was made to break specific cases that used to work. It was expected that some sites would need to adjust their code accordingly, and filing Tech Evangelism bugs can help make that happen.

Darn, you're right. Remind me not to re-assign bugs after a dreadful day at work :(

Good point, as i realized in comment 8 that we can actually break certain sites with code changes from our end.

Anyway, first e-mail bounced. New e-mail sent to info at parapsy.nl 


The menus are still broken in the latest trunk build.

looks like it is working now
Thanks for testing Biju. This was indeed fixed by some checkin in February 2008.
As I don't know exactly what bug fixed this, resolving WFM.
