Gagan, I didn't see this as a page loading issue, so I didn't assign to Adam. I've heard you handle load issues in Mozilla, but if this is the wrong area, please reassign. Thanks. Reproduced in Win NS6.1 trunk 20010828. also on mfcEmbed. Works fine in IE5.5 1. Go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/ticker/ticker.stm . Result: "Latest" tags are displayed, but not the series of ticker headlines.
per WRMB, added keyword topembed. change qa contact to depstein.

AFAICT this is a bad javascript. I see the same behaviour on 4.x. I think evangelism should take the first crack at this...

Christopher, please verify.
I didn't see the JS error that bug 56800 described. The problem I saw was the headlines aren't appearing.
We keep one bug open per site for Evangelism, but I am adding a dependency from this bug to the original. I will verify this is fixed when 56800 is fixed.
Depends on: 56800
Component change.
Component: European → West Europe
Bug 56800 now covers the display of headline data being non-existant as the JS error has been fixed. Verifying this as a duplicate.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
No longer depends on: 56800
