Description

[Kyle Huang]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010109
BuildID:    2001010901

the URL provided (www.sgi.com) has pull-down menus that use javascript, CSS and
using DIV tags as layers. In the script each layer inherits
  onmouseout = 'hidden';
so when the cursor leaves any of these layers they are supposed to hide. in
mozilla they do not.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
move mouse over one of the menu items on the url provided
move mousu into the menu that pops up below
move mouse downwards out of menu	

Actual Results:  the layer remains visible

Expected Results:  the layer should become hidden

to the top and to each side of the menu are anchor tags that clear all menus
when the cursor moves over them. this function call works where the onmouseout
function call for each layer does not work.

HUnmnm.. I suspect implementation (evangelism) related.  The good news is that
the site have the dHTML core working.. See the menu works if you go to the next
one (except for this problem). 

Adding Bob -- Bob, this is evangelism... right?

Yes, probably evangelism. It looks like IE works because the code expects the
events to bubble up from the last menu item you mouseout of, into the containing
menu which will fire the onmouseout and close the menu. The NN4 compatible event
model does not bubble up and therefor never gets the close menu.

We're having a related problem where the visibility CSS attribute works the
first time but doesn't work a second. Space is allocated for the inline element
("display: inline" is not used, however). An onmouseover event sets visibility:
visible and an onmouseout event or timer event sets it to hidden. It is still
fired that second time but even though visibility is set to visible again, it
isn't visible. Obviously display is inline otherwise the space wouldn't be
allocated. This worked in Netscape 6 as well but stopped working as of 0.9.1.
