When someone mouses over our left margin titles it is suppose to have a javascript menu that doesn't work. This hasn't worked under any Milestone.
Browser, not engine. Changing component to DOM Level 0

Have to mark this one as invalid. The problem is the browser-detection: //decide on the browser IE4= (document.all && bV>=4 && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") == -1) ? 1:0; NS4= (document.layers) ? 1 : 0; etc. etc. //include the right library file if (NS4 || IE4) { document.write("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2' SRC='/scripts/vh2imcb4.js'><\/SCRIPT>"); document.write("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2' SRC='/scripts/menus.js'><\/SCRIPT>"); document.write("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2' SRC='/scripts/menu_control.js'><\/SCRIPT>"); document.write("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2' SRC='/scripts/styles.js'><\/SCRIPT>"); } etc. etc. In Mozilla, both IE4 and NS4 will evaluate to 0, because layers are no longer supported. Therefore the JavaScript libary files never get included.... For guidance on W3 standards and the differences between Navigator 4.x and Mozilla, see http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html Also compare these bugs: Bug 41765 Bug 43604 Bug 45940 (Comment 2000-07-20 20:14) Bug 46382

Adding "[LAYER]" for tracking purposes -
Summary: Javascript isn't working on this page → [LAYER]Javascript isn't working on this page
*** Bug 50712 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
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.

We have a solution that's full compatible that we'll be updating in the next week. We actually removed all the javascript and went with another design similiar to what we currently have. Personally its a big improvement.

Just so you know, high schools still use the old netscape. But, I have been trying to make them upgrade. So, if this does not work then many of the sites the schools go to may not work. Just my comments.
does not work with IE6.0
