From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98) BuildID: 2001101117 the popup menu was listed as the top of the page, not like the corresponding scree of IE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: just browse to http://www.willas-array.com
I'm not sure what to expect from this, but best I can say is worksforme win98 2001101003 ... I don't have the (chinese?) language pack installed in IE5, and the page rendered and functions identically in IE5 and my moz build ...
try to browse the webpage using IE. there are popup menus on the map (not listed above the map).
Your friend cheated. The URL in Moz goes to http://www.willas-array.com/prod/welcome/welcome_net.htm . In IE6 it goes to http://www.willas-array.com/prod/welcome/welcome.htm . Moreover, one of his functions in the Nav version is suspicious: function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.0 var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) { d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);} if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n]; for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document); if(!x && document.getElementById) x=document.getElementById(n); return x; } (d has been declared as a global value for document.) Note this line: for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) Looks like an evangelism issue to me. This page was written for Netscape 4.x browsers. The Netscape 6.x / Mozilla edition is totally different. As a result, this page is throwing quite a few JavaScript errors for the unsupported layer tag. I'm going to cc Bob Clary, Netscape's Evangelism expert, on this one. I'd appreciate a second opinion.
After discussion in irc.mozilla.org, second opinions do state this is an Evangelism bug. Reassigning. :)

MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.0 works in dom html/core.
The problem occurs because the site is not sniffing for Gecko-based browsers. Instead it is sniffing for IE, Netscape 6.x, or Netscape 4.x. Thus if you access the site with Netscape 6.x browers, you get the right pop-up menu. If you access it with Mozilla build of the same date, you get served 4.x page. The site developer should read this useful document to correct this problem: http://developer.netscape.com/evangelism/docs/articles/find-gecko/
Willas-Array Electronics has been contacted at: wae@willas-array.com Accepting the bug ... will see how the website master responds to our request.

Looks fixed for me. They are still saying "best viewed with IE 4.0", though.
