882605 - Clicking links on https://www.goldbely.com/about doesn't do anything

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Attachment: about:support

On https://www.goldbely.com/about page, when I click on "Press", "Our Team" and "The Lengend", nothing happens while it should take me to the appropriate sections of that page. I have been able to reproduce this even on a new profile with safe mode on (and hardware acceleration disabled, if that makes any difference) on the latest Firefox Nightly (24.0a1), stable Firefox (21.0).

Stable chrome has the expected behavior, I mean it navigates me to the appropriate sections of the page upon clicking those links.

I'm also attaching my about:support if that helps.

It looks like a bug in jQuery's animate function. The page script tries to scroll the page by animating the 'scrollTop' property, but it's not working in Firefox (or Opera).

It doesn't appear to be a regression in Firefox, at least not a recent one.

I'll attach a reduced testcase.

Attachment: testcase

This testcase scrolls down the page in Chrome, but stays at the top in Firefox and Opera.

It can be fixed by changing this line

$("body").animate({scrollTop:3000});

to this:

$("html,body").animate({scrollTop:3000});

The website issue can be fixed in a similar way.

So it's really a site bug. The code they're using to scroll the page is not cross-browser compatible. That's why it works in Chrome but not other browsers.

I'll contact the site about this.

Saurabh: Any luck with your contact?

The issue still exists.

It's been a long time. I forgot if I did and probably didn't get any response or I didn't.

Adam, it works for me now on the latest Nightly. Have you tried it on the latest nightly? Which version of Firefox did it not work for you?

Thanks for testing, it's working for me as well. Weird, I assume I was in 29 mac at the time. Closing.
