(Whiteboard: [LAYER][TOOL][GoLive])

Some newer Adobe product pages, including the pages for Photoshop 6, Illustrator 9 and GoLive 5, either don't display or are unbrowsable. This appears to be due to non-DOM-compliant layering (apparently generated by GoLive 4).
All these cases seems to be related with pages generated by GoLive. Agreed, related with layering.
This site uses the deprecated document.layers syntax. When you load the site and mouseover the "downloads" link, in NN4.7 you get a nice submenu to the right of the link. However, in Mozilla/N6 nothing happens, and you see this error in the JavaScript Console: Error: curDoc.layers has no properties This is caused as follows. The mouseover behavior on the downloads link is defined like this: <A HREF="#" ONMOUSEOVER="CSAction(new Array (/*CMP*/'A99BE43163',/*CMP*/'A99BE43165',/*CMP*/'A99BE43167')) etc. Note: the /*CMP*/'s are just JavaScript comments and can be excluded. The CSAction() function uses an object called "CSAct", defined as follows: CSAct = new Object; CSAct[/*CMP*/ 'A99BE43167'] = new Array(CSShowHide,/*CMP*/ 'dwnlds',1); etc. etc. The net effect is that CSAction() ends up calling CSShowHide(): function CSShowHide(action) { if (action[1] == '') return; var type=action[2]; if(type==0) CSSetStyleVis(action[1],0); else if(type==1) CSSetStyleVis(action[1],1); else if(type==2) { if (CSGetStyleVis(action[1]) == 0) CSSetStyleVis(action[1],1); else CSSetStyleVis(action[1],0); } } Which calls: function CSSetStyleVis(s,v) { if (IsIE()) CSIEStyl(s).visibility = (v == 0) ? "hidden" : "visible"; else CSNSStyl(s).visibility = (v == 0) ? 'hide' : 'show'; } Which calls: function CSNSStyl(s) {return CSFindElement(s,0);} Which calls: 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++) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ERROR { elem = CSFindElement(n,curDoc.layers[i]); if (elem) return elem; } } return elem; } This errors because document.layers is no longer supported in Mozilla/N6 ...

GoLive 6.0 is out; Adobe website developers should have a copy by now. :) Unfortunately I am still seeing the same issues with new product pages recently updated. Any new word from Adobe on status?

I checked all the links in comments 33 and 34. The pages all display nicely, and the menu to the right pops up submenus when moused over as expected. I got one javascript error in my console when I went to the shopping cart - it complained about a \\--> but still displayed fine. \\--> Heehee! Somebody's leaning the wrong way. Is this fixed?
Ok, the list and all dupes look fine to me. -> Fixed. Yay!
