The menu is different than the menus mentioned in bug 63393, but the cause of
the problem is likely the same.

The site seems to have changed, I cannot find any "by media" and "by product"
pop up menus.  However, following my instructions from comment #5, I still do
not get the dropdown with Linux 2002021208.  REOPENING

Indeed, http://media.studio.adobe.com/scripts/studio_utils.js is the culprit

function getLayer(name) {
//alert(name);
	if(typeof name != "string") return name;
	if(isIE) { return document.all[name].style; }	// NOTE: adding a test here to see if
document.all[name] is defined causes HUGE slowdown...
	if(isNS) { return eval("document." + name); }
	return null
}

they have a isDOM1 and isNS6, but don't use it anywhere

Is this the same bug that makes the menus non-functional on the Adobe product
pages such as:

http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/main.html

Quite annoying as it makes much of Adobe's site completely nonfunctional.

Comment 11

[Matt Fago]

Ok, sorry. I found the meta bug.

It seems that the ball is in Adobe's court...

page has been redesigned. for the most part works the same in gecko as ie6 with
the exception of the mouse over / highlight effects on the top menu. 

These scripts are completely bogus but don't really appear to be used that much. 

http://media.studio.adobe.com/scripts/studio_utils.js
http://media.studio.adobe.com/scripts/studio_nav.js

Marking fixed since the site behaves pretty much as they intended.

Still not fixed on my fresh Linux CVS build, REOPENING, also see comment #5 and
comment #8.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to http://studio.adobe.com/learn/main.html
2. Click on "Expert center", an orange dropdown menu on the right
3. nothing happens

Expected results:

See a dropdown menu just like in 4.7x.
