Layers are not supported by Mozilla. Absolute positioning with CSS should be
used instead. Confirming and over to Evangelism (and default owner of
Evangelism).

Evangelism is probably correct. Here's the beginning of the javascript:

NS4 =  (document.layers) ? 1 : 0;
IE4 = (document.all) ? 1 : 0;
ver4 = (NS4 || IE4) ? 1 : 0;
SO = (navigator.platform!="Win32" &&
navigator.platform!="Win16" &&
navigator.platform!="Mac68k" &&
navigator.platform!="MacPPC") ? 1 : 0;

var DEBUG=0;

if(navigator.appName=="Konqueror") {
   IE4=1;
}
showedMenu="";
hiddedMenu="";

function showMenu(m) {

   if(showedMenu!="" && showedMenu!=m)
      hide(showedMenu);

   if(m==hiddedMenu)
      hiddedMenu="";

   showedMenu=m;

   if(NS4)
      document.layers[m].visibility="show";
   if(IE4)
      document.all.tags("div")[m].style.visibility="visible";
}

[Zach Lipton [:zach]]

Yea. They think that any browser with document.layers is NS4 and any 
with document.all is IE4. They don't care about NS6 and mozilla which is 
false for both.

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.
