Marking "new". Reporter, this site uses non-standard javascript/html code that
is not supported by Mozilla/Netscape 6, and will never be. Could you please
contact the webmaster to let him know about it?
When/if the page is fixed to be standards-compliant, could you please drop a
comment here saying the page has been fixed?
Thank you a lot,
Fabian.

The bug is not is not in Mozilla, but in the page itself. Thus marking INVALID.

Actually, this should be reopened. The evangelism component is for bugs 
like these. We let the webmaster know about the problem and ask them 
to fix it. Reopening.

This web site uses the JavaScript code (ps.js) to create a set of

* DIV elements

When mouse over the handlers (text menu) the JavaScript function changeLayer is
called (ps.js).

Currently changeLayer supports NS4 and IE. It's not a complex page. It basically
changes visibility.

Suggestions:

* They should use the Ultimate Client Sniffer:
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/sniffer/browser_type.html

* to create an additional statement supporting the Standards:

For example pieces of code like: (today)

     if (NS4) {
        document.layer1.visibility = "hide";
          document.layer2.visibility = "hide";
          document.layer3.visibility = "hide";
          document.layer4.visibility = "hide";
          document.layer5.visibility = "hide";
        }
          if (IE4) {
        document.all.layer1.style.visibility = "hidden";
          document.all.layer2.style.visibility = "hidden";
          document.all.layer3.style.visibility = "hidden";
          document.all.layer4.style.visibility = "hidden";
          document.all.layer5.style.visibility = "hidden";
        }

should be more like:

     if (is_nav4up) {
        document.layer1.visibility = "hide";
          document.layer2.visibility = "hide";
          document.layer3.visibility = "hide";
          document.layer4.visibility = "hide";
          document.layer5.visibility = "hide";
        }
          if (is_ie4up) {
        document.all.layer1.style.visibility = "hidden";
          document.all.layer2.style.visibility = "hidden";
          document.all.layer3.style.visibility = "hidden";
          document.all.layer4.style.visibility = "hidden";
          document.all.layer5.style.visibility = "hidden";
        }
        if(is_gecko) {

	document.getElementById("layer1").style.visibility="hidden";

	document.getElementById("layer2").style.visibility="hidden";

	document.getElementById("layer3").style.visibility="hidden";

	document.getElementById("layer4").style.visibility="hidden";

	document.getElementById("layer5").style.visibility="hidden";

	}

Thanks /\/\arcio. Using your comment I created a corrected ps.js file that works
with the page. I'll attach it to the page and send notce to the webadmin.

I have no idea how I did that with no JavaScript coding experience ;-) Well, C++
and FORTRAN helped a little. I also used Mozilla detection from this very good
page: http://www.the-cool-place.co.uk/javascript/tutorial/javascript1.html

Comment 13

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

http://www.ps.pl/index1.html is fixed, though we are terribly slow on that page

Comment 14

[Jacek Piskozub]

Verifying fixed. 

BTYW, the page is slow IMHO due to low bandwith, not Mozilla fault.
