At least in the upper frame, there are lots of IE-isms like
document.body and the window.event object. From the JavaScript Console:


Error: event is not defined
Source File: http://www.dvdboard.de/FAQ/kopf.htm
Line: 17


A sample of the code in this frame:


<script language=JavaScript><!--
{
document.body.onmouseover=makeCool;  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< document.body
document.body.onmouseout=makeNormal;
}
function makeCool() 
{
  src = event.toElement;             <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< window.event
  if (src.tagName == "A") 
  {
    src.oldcol = src.style.color;
  src.style.color = "#FF0000";
  }
}


      etc.
      etc.  


Meanwhile, I can't see where any browser-sniffing is. The mouseover
events don't work in Netcscape 4.7, either -


Reassigning to Evangelism component -

Note: the HTML credits this template site for JS menus (in German):

              http://rheinbreitbach.net/js-menue/

cc'ing Matthias in case he is able to find where the browser-sniffing 
might be here - I can't find any.

The JS-Menu contains no Browser Sniffer Code.
I contacted the Author of that Menue "[e-mail]".

I assign this bug to me.....

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

This is not a problem with the code (the IE crap is not the problem)
The original JS-Menu can be found at http://rheinbreitbach.net/js-menue/ and
it does not work.
The menu use CSS: a:hover for the colour change of the link but this doesn't
work in mozilla.

This should be a dupe of bug 38380
[ESM/CSS] css a:hover ignored on link with javascript "onMouseover" and "return
true;"

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 38380 ***

Comment 6

[Harald Glatt]

it isn't a duplicate of 38380 - 38380 is done and the bug is still there - 
reopening.

Comment 7

[John Morrison]

Yes, this is not a duplicate of bug 38380, for the originally reported 
problem at http://www.dvdboard.de/FAQ/kopf.htm. The problem is what 
pschwartau stated earlier: that the mouseover coloring is implemented 
using methods specific to IE's event model, e.g., 'srcElement' & 'toElement'.

-> joki, Event Handling, and then I'm bonking this one on the head: those
properties are not going to be implemented (and if I'm wrong about that, then
joki can correct me).

Comment 8

[John Morrison]

wontfix (not going to implement the entire IE event model).

Comment 9

[Harald Glatt]

man, thats sad

Comment 10

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Should this not go to evangelism ?

The original JS is using a:hover and this is fixed (bug 38380)
I didn't notice that this page changed the original menu with this IE only 
functions... (my mistake)

[Harald Glatt]

as long as every webmaster will get mad about mozilla not being able to view 
the website like ie mozilla won't get the number one browser...

Comment 12

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

(SORRY FOR THIS SPAM)
[e-mail]: 
If a webmaster use W3C standard code, you can use it with every 
standard compliance browser. (like Mozilla and Opera and...and ...).
The original js-menu at "http://rheinbreitbach.net/js-menue/" works now after 
bug 38380 is fixed. It works with IE and Mozilla !
The problem: www.dvdborad.de changed the original JS-menu code to IE code crap 
-> it's the webmasters fault and not Mozilla's !

[Harald Glatt]

Yeah thats right, but i understand both - the webmasters who have learned the 
features of ie that aren't w3c standard AND mozilla who doesn't want to 
implement ie-features... but i would say as ie is currently the leading 
browser mozilla should adapt to it so mozilla has got a chance to get the 
browser most of the people use again.
