97080 - newtradetech.com - JavaScript for displaying additional links doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P3)

Description

[Luke deGruchy]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080110

Two links to the left of the page contain scripts that are supposed to display
additional links to the right.  In Mozilla, these links do nothing.  It may be a
problem with Mozilla's implementation of JavaScript, which is where the links
derive their functionality.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.newtradetech.com
2. Move the mouse pointer over "Corporate" or "Technology"


Actual Results:  Nothing.

Expected Results:  Additional links should appear to the right of the original
link.  The Corporate link should display "Corporate Profile", "Corporate
Vision", "Management Team", and "Contact".   "Technology" should display
"Architecture".

There may an incomplete JavaScript implementation in Mozilla.  In the status
bar, just underneath the page rendering, there is a message that says: 
"javascript: void(0)".  Obviously, the additional links are generated by some
javascript.

the problem is with the javascript the site uses.  They assume that any browser
that is not called Internet Explorer is Netscape 4 using Layers. 
Mozilla/Netscape 6 don't use layers.


The following is from http://www.newtradetech.com/include/Script_Menu.js which
is called from the page you referred.

function SwitchImageMenu(Name, NewName, Menu){   
    if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
        document.images[Name].src = eval(NewName + ".src");
    } else { 
         document.layers[Menu].document.images[Name].src = eval(NewName + ".src");
    }
}

Mass reassign of all tech-evangelism us general bugs assigned to bc to 
doron except bc's P1 bugs. You may search for this mass reassign (it is 
305 bugs) by searching for the keyword 'greeneggsandham'
