Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; fr; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; fr; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

The main window of most of MSDN pages does not render correctly on a Mac. The issue seams to be related to the popup menus/breadcrumbs at the top of the main page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.stream.readbyte(VS.71).aspx on a Mac, using Firefox.
2. If the display looks fine, play a bit with the main frame scroll bar, and with your tabs.



Nothing very fancy in my setup... Adblock and webdeveloper toolbar mostly.

I can verify this problem still exists.

My version:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9

I have no plugins or extensions; it's vanilla.

The problem has something to do with the following code within the page:

    <script type="text/javascript">
      <!--
        function Toc_LoadIframe(){
          var html = "<iframe onload=\"TocLoader_HideMessage();\" id=\"tocIFrame\" class=\"tocFrame\" src=\"/en-us/library/system.io.stream.readbyte(VS.71,d=toc).aspx\" frameborder=\"0\" />";
          document.getElementById("iframeContainer").innerHTML+=html;
          tocOpenCollapseHandler = null
        }
        function Toc_PageLoad(){
          if(!isTocCollapsed){
            window.setTimeout(Toc_LoadIframe,100);
          }
          tocOpenCollapseHandler = function(isCollapsed){
            if(!isCollapsed){
             window.setTimeout(Toc_LoadIframe,100);
            }
          }          
        }

If you comment out the line

document.getElementById("iframeContainer").innerHTML+=html;

in Toc_LoadIframe(), the display problem goes away.

For what it's worth, it looks like the document it's loading into the iframe is the table of contents that goes along the left-hand side of the screen.  You can see it here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.stream.readbyte(VS.71,d=toc).aspx
