Description

[jeff putnam]

When visiting this page, a popup window appears that says :

Choose either the smooth or advanced static modes

but with no clue whatever as to how to actually do this.  Other pages in this
sequence also do the same thing so the popup window appears frequently.  I dont
see the window in the page source, nor do I find anything on these modes in the
preferences editor.

From the main.js file included by the page:

IE=document.all;
NS=document.layers;
if (IE) {
ssm2.style.pixelLeft = -menuWidth;
ssm2.style.visibility = "visible"
}
else if (NS) {
document.ssm2.left = -menuWidth;
document.ssm2.visibility = "show"
}
else {
alert('Choose either the "smooth" or "advanced" static modes!')
}
}

This is a bug in the page.  document.all and document.layers are both
non-standard.  Mozilla does not support them.  The page needs to fix its
browser-sniffing code.

Over to evangelism.

Arun, I'm giving you all the Linux bugs. If these bugs can be confirmed for
other OS's please (someone) change the Platform/OS to All/All and reassign to
the default Evangelism Component Owner.
