From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.73 [en] (WinNT; I) BuildID: (Windows 2000091308) Images on this page are supposed to be replaced every 12 seconds. The page displays correctly until the script attempts to replace the named image. Additional JavaScript issue: The setInterval(function(),interval) processing is broken. The time delay set by the call to setInterval() is far from consistant. The initial image displays much longer than intended then, several images change in rapid succession before the image display collapses. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load the page located at http://www.cwru.edu/UL/homepage.html, or it's frame free clone at http://ulweb.cwru.edu/UL/homepage.html Actual Results: The first image loads as expected. Subsequent images are delayed for several seconds then, multiple images are presented in rapid succession. Expected Results: Load first image then change images every 12 seconds. This is the behavior in nn4.x and ie4.x and later.
As of (Windows 2000091808) Image no longer collapses to it's alt text but the timing on the slide show effect is still munged badly. At this point this bug is now reduced to problems with setInterval([instruction],[interval]) processing. This should help to isolate it in the queue.
Appears to be fixed with (Windows 2000091920). Woohoo!
