Scroll bars are not produced, there is no way to page through the content, header and footer are missing Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to https://bweb.hpu.edu/pls/hpud/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_sched 2. Select a term (eg Fall 2011) 3. Select a subject (ie Math) 4. Click Class search 5. Notice the content is rendered only to the bottom of the visible window and there is no way to scroll through the rest of it
This is the site issue. misuse "use strict".
The page explicitly disables scrolling of the viewport by setting overflow:hidden on the root element. See https://bweb.hpu.edu/css/common-platform.css the styles for "html" at the very top.

Oh, I see. The script is supposed to set up a new scrollable area, but it never really runs because of the strict mode error. I guess we should try to get them to fix their broken script....

Of course I can't find any contact info on this site... :(
You could if the header and footer properly loaded ;) Here's the info http://www.hpu.edu/Staff_FacultySearch/index.html
(In reply to Alex Panzin from comment #6) 100% repeatability with Firefox 7.0.1(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1) on Windows 7 only. Ubuntu 10.04 works with package from https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable?field.series_filter=lucid (7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1~mfs1 2011-09-29)
I'm currently on Nightly builds and this bug does not reproduce on 10.0a1. I'm curious as to what the difference is, especially since the developers insist not producing the scrollbar is the "correct" behavior.
I'm reassigning this from tech evangelism. I do not believe this is how Firefox SHOULD behave, especially since there are inconsistencies between the versions.

Comment 2 and 3 are explicitly clear about the problem; it has nothing whatsoever to do with Firefox itself.

Summary: no scroll bars, or ability to scroll (arrow keys, page down, scroll wheel) on some web pages → bweb.hpu.edu -- no scroll bars, or ability to scroll (arrow keys, page down, scroll wheel) due to broken JS
Da'Nard: Please contact the people responsible for this site and inform them their script is broken. Feel free to point them here if they need assistance fixing it. I'm assuming you're either student or staff there, since I can't imagine why else anyone would need to be doing a bunch of research on specific class offerings. That puts you in a much better position to complain about their brokenness than we are.
Actually, this is just fixed. In particular, I now get the scrollbar in both Fx7 and nightly. As in, the buggy code on the page has been changed to not be buggy.
