I am doing drop-down menus for a site I'm developing (not my idea,
neadless to say.) I have a nice robust Javascript that handles it, and
it actually WORKS, works across browsers even! How unexpected!
However, I have one TINY problem. In netscape, ON OCCASION, the
drop-down menus will show up halfway down the page. Reloading fixes
this. Resizing the windows fixes this. (It's asising, I think,
because of the Mozilla reansparent-picture-image-location hack for
determing position of the original menu on the page.) And it doesnt'
appear consistently.
This is what I THINK is going on- when I double-click to refresh
instead of single, the document re-loads, but some part of the layout
beign generated by the first-click isn't properly cleared. (this bug
onyl shows up when the page reloads funny, but it's often enough I want
it not to happen, because it's MASSIVELY ugly.) Resizing the window
causes it to recalculate the layout positions of those transparent
gifs, and so it fixes itself.
The script I have it really good. (It was someone else's, which I've
mads some additiosn to.) I'd prefer NOT to gut and rebuild if I can.
Especially not for a netscape-only problem.
Is there a way to... 'poke' the document resize event when the page is
finished loading and cause it to recalculate this? I think (provided
it doesn't cause a page redraw) that would solve my problem, and it's
simple enough I don't mind it as a concession to the browser.
Or, has anyone else encountered this and have an alternate solution?
Am I wrong on the cause? Etc.
Technical: the dropdowns are absolutely-positioned DIV's with a z-index
of 20 whose position is determined by the location of a transparent
image before the to-level navigation option they're attached to.

Slight update! I removes a tiny bit of odd CSS layout that was working
in IE and not Mozilla, and the problem stopped.
(Why the code would cause this problem instead if simply being
non-supported, why the flag to offset by 10 pixels was offsetting by
400, and why Mozilla would flailingly TRY is beyond me.)
It was really WIERD code though. Instead of offsettign the table, I
had flagged every CELL in the table to be relatively offset down 10
pixels.
....I'm just surprised even IE would do somethign that stupid. I MEANT
to do it to the table...

Hello,
I just ran into an interesting problem with cookies while
using PHP 4 and Mozilla 1.6. Basically, I have been using
PHP on a site called:
foo.bar.net?script.php
Within that script I call setcookie() and manipulate
cookie variable $_COOKIE. All works fine

Hi all,
I've written this little piece of code, which doesn't seem to work in
Mozilla 1.5. I haven't tried it on other Gecko browsers, but I've found
some indication that Netscape 6+ has the same problem. Internet Explorer 6
and Opera 7 have no problems with it.

In the web site http://greywolfdesign.com , there is a pop-up menu (when
mouse over 'Portfolio' menu item), it always works well when using IE (6).
However, when using Mozilla 1.6, the popup works well for all the pages
except the 4 pages which can be opened by click the menu link in the
popup. In these four pages, the popup will always be shown at the
leftmost of its parent div (flow) instead of under the 'Portfolio' menu
item.

Hi,
It seems the mozilla guys have chosen another (almost certainly poor
choice in my initial thoughts) of having document.all evaluate to
false, but document.all catch the chicken event - also
document.all.tags will work.
It seems that the document.all not evaluating to true is to stop the
really dumb object assumption scripts to fail and the document.all
scripts that don't bother with any object detection to all of a sudden

Hi everyone,
Hoping there are some .js/browser experts out there that can help with this
weird problem.
I have made a swap div routine and applied the events to menu buttons with a
closer layer behind the menus. The closer div has a lower index than the
submenu divs so it appears behind them. The closer div contains a
transparent gif with an event applied to it to close all of the divs when
moused over.
