Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Glyn Blackett]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 3.5.21022)

If you go to the above website, in the navigation bar you will see a submenu of links. When the mouse moves over these links, you should see a green square appear. For one or two of the menu items it works, but not for the rest. This html works fine on other browsers such as internet explorer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.move mouse over links of sub-menu
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
for some menu items, no green square to the left

Expected Results:  
a green square should appear when the mouse hovers over a sub-link

the onmouseover event triggers a call to a javascript function, which switches the css class of the underlying table cell, so that it changes appearance.

The page doesn't work nicely in Opera too, so I suspect it's a site issue and not a firefox issue.

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.6 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
