79341 - mlive.com - Menus use layers, do not work

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Richard S. Hall]

I am using the Mozilla 0.9 milestone.

In order to track the progress of Mozilla, I have been watching the the
following two web pages to see if their JavaScript ever starts to work and it
has been a long time and they are still not working, so I figured I would report
them:

   http://www.mlive.com
   http://www.starlightonline.com

The first site uses a navigational menu on the left side that should pop-up a
menu when the mouse runs across it, but it doesn't work under Mozilla.  The
second site allows you to login using Java script, but if you try to login, the
dialog box that pops up does not respond when you click "submit".

Both of these work under Netscape 4.7x.  I understand that these may be due to
deviations from standard JavaScript, but...

http://www.mlive.com uses document.layers/document.all neither of which is
supported by Mozilla.  There are no plans to support these non-standard DOMs. 
The page should be updated to use the standard W3C DOM...

http://www.starlightonline.com has a coding error -- they call an HTML node
"submt" and then try to use "submit" as a function.  This is covered by another
bug that I can't locate at the moment... but is also unlikely to ever be supported.

Making this an evangelism bug for http://www.mlive.com.  Please also file an
evangelism bug on http://www.starlightonline.com if you really care about them
fixing their buggy code...

1 year later, mlive's menus are across the top rather than down the left, but
they still assume Netscape == document.layers.
