3880 - [LAYER] JavaScript ticker doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P2)

Description

[Roland Mainz]

Seems that the "current" nightly build has various problems with the layout.
Take a look at http://www.planetquake.com with Mozilla 4.x, then do the same
with the nightly build 16.3.1999:
Example problems (not all...):
- the navigation bar on the left side moved into the middle
- the (javascript ??) headline "ticker" does not work
- background is white instead of black

The page is displaying fine with the latest build, and the background color is
black.

There is a problem with the JavaScript ticker doesn't work, so I'm assigning
this to Vidur

A couple of backward compatibility issues:
1) document.layers
2) Image positions (the x and y properties)

Eric, we need to make a final call on compatibility with layers.

Comment 5

[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.
