93333 - ntvmsnbc.com - Page doesnt render correctly. Right part of the content area missing.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Other, defect)

Description

[Ahmet A. Akin]

Again the one of the biggest news portal of Turkey ( http://www.ntvmsnbc.com )
has a problem with Mozilla. 
In IE and Mozilla main page seems different. in IE, page content is wider and
there is like an exra column on the right most part of the content area. There
are 2 commercials, on top and botom of the right column, and in the middle there
are some texts. 
In mozilla it doesnt show that column on the right at all. 

Another small difference is the small links down the page, In IE they are red in
Moz they are black..

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.2+) Gecko/20010729

There are a number of pieces on this page that are IE-specific.

1. SLdiv1.style.display should be document.getElementById('SLdiv').style.display
   etc. This is used in a dozen places on the page.

2. document.images.frward.src should use getElementById('frward') ...

3. The rightmost table is explicitly only enabled for IE:
      fRpol=(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 4')>-1);
   and later on the page:
      if(fRpol)checkRight();
   where "checkRight" generates the content for that table.

4. Script is turning off and on "display" of content with:
      SLP.style.display='none';
      SLP.style.display='';
   respectively, display='' is invalid but in IE it seems to reset it to its
   default value (my guess). You could use display='block' instead.
   (Maybe we should have a quirk for this?)

5. The links at bottom at the page is red in IE and black in Mozilla because
   the server generates different content for IE/Moz. For example IE gets this
   style: 
       A.R {color:red;}

Actually, I was wrong about 4 above, it does work in both IE and Mozilla as can
be seen in the first testcase. The remaining issues are all Evangelism.

Ahmet, can you provide a screenshot? I don't miss any part of the linked page in
Mozilla 0.9.5.

Second question: is the original page (www.msnbc.com) affected? If so, the
Turkey's MSNBC must update their page to the technological point of
www.msnbc.com (I guess, they will not have any problems with that). Then I'll
combine this bug and bug 89002 to one bug called "Make MSNBC-Turkey syncronize
the code with MSNBC-US website"

Mass triage of Tech Evangelism bugs pending deletion of obsolete European
components. To find this spam, search for "WarmApplePieAndMilk"

Specific info for this bug: to other. No turkish component.

Error: document.SHOLD has no properties
Source File: http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/news/default.asp

But overall the pages work fine. fixed. If thise error causes problems, please
reopen.
