Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[bowsertb]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000807
BuildID:    2000080712

The cited page, and most others on this site (http://www.accuweather.com) have a
display/layout problem in Mozilla that is not seen in NS4.x or IE.  The
clickable ads on the top and right side have a doubled graphic element; the
graphic shows twice, vertically aligned to it's twin.  The telltale function of
the mouse (URL display in the bottom program frame) displays the destination for
both graphics.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to the URL.  No special setup required

Actual Results:  As described above

Expected Results:  The graphics should be displayed once per position on the
page, instead of the vertical twin effect seen.

kinda similar to bug 49598.  one set of ads is drawn by javascript, and the 
other set is enclosed in noscript tags.

oops, that's not what's happening at all.  the page has some complicated 
javascript which draws two things: an image, and an iframe with src=

http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/accuweather.com/accuweather;in=home;pg=5daho;abr=!
ie;sz=258x60;tile=2;ord=0   (actually ord number representing the time)

if you download that iframe with ie, you get

<--
//-->

if you download it with netscape, you get application/x-javascript with

document.write('<a target="_top" 
href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/click;1358282;0-0;1;4138898;378-258|60;0|0|0;;?
http://www.accuweather.com/adchurr/index"><img 
src="http://m.doubleclick.net/viewad/400445-hurricane2.gif" border=0 width=258 
height=60 alt="Click here to find out more!"></a>');

marking invalid.
