53984 - Advertisement on default plugin page for java sometimes pushes download links off of window

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P3)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

About 50% of the time, the "Download Java plugin" popup window contains a large 
advertisement that pushes the download-java links off the edge of the page.  
This makes it difficult to download Java.

You may need to delete "none" entries from 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Default Plugin
using regedit.exe in order to make the popup appear (bug 41334).


Test pages:

Other problems on the popup pages:
- Shouldn't have ads, because people hate popup ads.  There will be plenty of
  room to show ads and "click here!" 's once the user gets to netcenter.
- If ads are completely necessary, the ad links need to be target="_blank".
- They ignore the possibility that the user is using font-size scaling (ctrl-J 
or ctrl-K).

cc:rebron since this might be netcentre related. I have seen this problem too.

Not a Netscape 6 RTM blocker. FUTURE. This bug has been marked Future because
the Netscape engineer it is assigned to is overburdened.
