From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000622
BuildID: 2000062220
The main page on UNC-Greensboro's web site is heavily laden with Javascript.
When loading the page, the graphic-javasrcipt version of the page begins to
render, then forwards to the text-only version of the main page, which
convieniently reminds you to upgrade your current version. Hey, this is the
nightly from Thursday, how much more current can you get :)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.uncg.edu
2. Watch the page start to load, then give up.
Actual Results: Recieve coersion concerning browser versions
Expected Results: Receive a pretty graphical page with drop-down lists and
image rollovers.
The page very well could contain non-standard javasrcipt code (they claim to
support IE and Nav) but I am no js guru. Another URL with complains about
javascript is http://pipeline.unc.edu. Pipeline also requires Java and a
username/password.

Doesn't seem to be a JS Engine issue. The given web page uses Layers, and I
believe this may be the problem. Layers are no longer supported by Gecko/Nav5.
I don't know enough about this issue to know if that would cause the behavior
described above, however,so I'd like to forward this to Asa for a second
opinion. An example of layers in the HTML is:
function CSFindElement(n,ly) { if (CSBVers < 4) return document[n];
var curDoc = ly ? ly.document : document; var elem = curDoc[n];
if (!elem) { for (var i=0;i<curDoc.layers.length;i++) {
elem = CSFindElement(n,curDoc.layers[i]); if (elem) return elem;}}
return elem;
}
Thanks, Asa -

It doesn't actually give up. it redirects but if you hit the back button it
will display the page. Site relies on document.layers, document.all, and fails
to detect client
correctly. See http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html for details on
standards-compliance in Mozilla, and which proprietary features of NS 4.x and IE
will not be supported.

Moving all [LAYER] bugs to Evangelism component for tracking and open-source
evangelism by mozilla community members of sites that need to upgrade to support
web standards such as HTML 4.0 (instead of LAYER/ILAYER) and the W3C DOM
(instead of Nav4 document.layers[] or IE document.all()). Sites should be
lobbied to do the upgrade using the email templates that are linked to from
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html#layerbugs . When a site's owner
has confirmed receipt of the message requesting an upgrade, the bug should be
marked with the keyword evangelized to indicate that evangelism for that bug is
complete. When the site finishes the upgrade and supports standards, the bug
should be closed.

Tested with Trunk build 2001-05-09-15/win2k. I still get
Error: curDoc.layers has no properties
Source File http://www.uncg.edu/home.html line 22.
I don't think they have fixed the layers problems with this page. In addition,
they use non-html tags in the page which also may cause problems.
It does not appear from this bug report that anyone has attempted to contact
uncq regarding their layer problem.
