The page in question (www.harrypotter.com) has a flash animation in it. For
some reason, the page is displayed ridiculously wide, and not centered on the
animation in question. As such you have to scroll VERY carefully to even find
the damn thing...
Hard to know if this is a mozilla bug or a bug in the page. But it displays
fine netscape and IE

Forgot to mention the version. I'm running mozilla-pre0.8.1-0, the RPM version
distributed by Chris Blizzard.

Worksforme, linux build 2001-03-14-08. Yaron, could you retest this with a
newer build (maybe 0.8.1 once that comes out in a few days)? I recall a layout
fix to deal with problems such as the one you describe that went in after 0.8
here a sample of another page doing probably same thing. Observerd on linux 20010319
http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/sucker.html
I tested the harrypotter site and couldn't see the bug.
Then went back to the URL i pasted above, and the bug was gone there too.
So whatever triggers it, the bug seems to happen only the first time flash is
loaded within a session, and subsequent loads displays page OK.

Interestingly, this doesn't come up on the "web pages that suck" page
that was given as an instance of the bug. This bug seems harder to replicate
than I would have expected. It has reappeared on multiple builds, including
some fairly recent pre 0.8.1 builds. Quite odd.

Here is the url that I have problems with:
http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/intro.html
The flash animation, which is used in a table is not displayed but I hear the
audio portion. The page is wide and the scrollbars are present.

Ok, I created a reduced sample of the problem. It contains a table with a object
element with a child embed tag. The OBJECT and EMBED elements have both the same
width and height specified. If the OBJECT (which contains the embed element) has
different width and height values, the flash animation is displayed. See my
second test case for this example.

Comment 13•24 years ago

The Object's width and height values are different than the EMBED element. In
this case, WIDTH="501" HEIGHT="216" has been specified.

Good catch petersen. could be the issue that sometimes we use one measurment
from one tag over the other assuming they are the same. Should we be resolving
from style everywhere?

This looks more up your alley in core layout.

The problem seems to appear when the height of the flash animation is scaled
down. I've submitted attachment 32416 [details] - another offending page with the
following embedding code:
<embed src="http://www.2cpu.com/Images/zzqbanner2.swf" scale="exactfit"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="125" height="125">
</embed>
Removing the width and height parameters from this code causes the page to
render to the correct width, but the animation is about double size (original
size i suspect.)
The problem seems to occur only when height is exactly 125. As far as I can
tell, width has no effect on the problem.
This problems has been observed in builds pulled off CVS on the 25th and the
26th April. It does not occur with mozilla 0.8.

Comment 48•23 years ago
|

Well, I'm a bit confused. It's not a regression, now I think.
It was makred a dup of bug 5522. It was orriginally about http://harrypotter.com
but got more attention when it blocked Shockwave.com. When bug 5522 got fixed,
it spawned bug 86075 which now has a comment that it is not the same as this. I
haven't tried Shockwave.com lately in a non-debug build, so the problem may
still be there as well (but I think that's really bug 86075).
In any case, initilizing variables seems like a very safe way to fix this bug.
Can I get your [s/r]=?

Comment 49•23 years ago

Assuming that you have tried Shockwave.com with your DEBUG build and it is fine,
then [s]r=attinasi (I think the initialization is a good idea, but I am paranoid
that the value it is being initialized to is OK, and testing it in a DEBUG build
is good enough for me).

Build 2001-06-22-04, Win2k sp2
WORKSFORME for all testcases and URLs. I really believe this is caused by bug
86075.
Also, a VERY important note:
I went to test shockwave.com and got a shockwave.com HTML message saying
Netscape 6 (and flavors) not supported. You can't get around this; you CANNOT
visit shockwave.com.

This is not fixed.
http://www.digitoday.no/dtno.nsf/pub/te20010622095039_pcs_72599679
Seeing this with a current linux CVS build - around 200 pages wide.
If the flash doesn't load at first attempt - force a reload.
The most frequently loaded commercial is a Compaq flash banner with heading
"golden offer". It will appear in upper right corner.

This may be fixed by bug 46029 or by writing to the webmaster(s) of shockwave.com

oops: regarding my comment 2001-06-25 13:58
I discovered that those pages lay out too wide regardless of whether there is
flash on them or not. It's another bug.

use this pref to override the shockwave block :
paste this line in 'allns.js' under 'default/prefs' folder
pref("general.useragent.override","Mozilla/4.75 [en] (Win95; U)");
restart the browser..and go to shockwave.com and click 'games' 'shows' ..'music'
'games' 'shows' ..something like that in that order..and see that the page
appears messed up...if u agree pls repoen this bug..
