The menus that users use to select transactions in SAP's WebGUI do not work in Mozilla 0.9.8. When logging in, you are presented with a menu on the left hand side of the screen called the "SAP Menu". This menu consists of a folder structure, with small arrows next to each folder. You are supposed to be able to click on the arrow next to the folder to show the contents of that folder. This works fine in Netscape 6.2.1 as well as IE 5.5sp2. However, with Mozilla 0.9.8, clicking on the arrow causes Mozilla to open up a whole new window to show you the contents of the folder. This is not the correct behaviour and also causes the previous window to be inoperable. This is a new bug with Mozilla 0.9.8. Note that there is another bug related to the SAP ITS WebGUI http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98466 but that this is an entirely seperate issue, dealing with the "SAP Menu" and not the drop down menu's at the top of the screen. I have cc'd a couple of people from that bug, as I thought they might be interested in this one as well. You can see this yourself by logging into the following URL: http://mysap.us.brann.com:81/scripts/wgate/webgui/! Note that the "!" is part of the URL. Use userid "mozilla" and password "bug123". I have also tested this with Mozilla 0.9.8 on MacOS 9.1 with the same results.

at a quick glance, the webguidoclick function is using event.target when I think it wants evetn.originalTarget....

Can someone else confirm this event.target vs. event.originalTarget issue? If this is the case, then it could be turned over to evangelism.

This has the same js errors that bug 98466 has. This is due to bug 121744 being fixed. It is necessary to get SAP to protect for (p in obj) enumerations by testing if obj is defined before we can be certain the app is initialized correctly. SAP is using event.target how they are using event.stopPropagation() as well, so they are probably intending to use target. I think that this ought to be duped against bug 98466. I can confirm the behavior as described however.

Will handle as an evangelism issue until we get more feedback from SAP regarding their issues.

duping against bug 98466. If any browser bugs are discovered I will file them separately. Blocking to keep the 'tree widget' behavior on the radar. updating qa->marcio *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 98466 ***
