62786 - thetimes.co.uk - Pull down menus don't display

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect, P3)

Description

[Joshua Rosen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-win4lin i686)
BuildID:    

There are a set of pull down menus just below "The Times" banner that
display in Netscape 4.75 but not in any Mozilla based brouser. I've tried
Mozilla, Netscape 6, Galeon, and Nautilus. Clearly the Mozilla
rendering engine is missing something.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Goto http://www.thetimes.co.uk in Mozilla
2.Goto http://www.thetimes.co.uk in Netscape 4.75
3.Compare

Actual Results:  Netscape 4.75 displays the menus, Mozilla and it's kin do not.

The site uses document.all and document.layers which are not and will never be 
supported by Mozilla. Could you please contact the webmaster to tell them their 
site is not standards compliant?
Thank you

They changes their layout. dhtml menus are gone, but:

if (document.all)
{
  n=0;
  ie=1;
  fShow="visible";
  fHide="hidden";
  styleClass="clsMenuItemIE";
}
else if (document.layers)
{
  n=1;
  ie=0;
  fShow="show";
  fHide="hide";
  styleClass="clsMenuItemNS";

However, css seems to work. 

Comment 9

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

that code is nowhere used, so no problem.
