| Issue: | HM Error Stops Menus when pages resized
multiple times in succession |
| Browser: | Netscape 4 |
| Platform: | All platforms |
| Description: | Due to the nature of Netscape
4 DHTML, the HM must be re-generated if the user resizes the browser window. See:
Ensuring DHTML Layout on
Resize. The HM script captures the window resize event and reloads
the page. However, if the resize itself takes place during the building of the
menus, corruption occurs in the script, and the menus from the original page
load cannot continue (nor, apparently, can they be halted by the resize event
itself). The result is a JavaScript error which halts further processing of
the menus. |
| Cause: | The cause is unknown, but appears
to be deeply linked to the Netscape 4 resize logic itself; i.e., code that existed
in the page and was executing before the resize began appears to continue executing
during the physical reload (but before the actual resize event is fired!).
Like our other Netscape 4.x issues, this seems to be a NS4 bug. |
| Comments: | No workaround exists (other than
having users reload their pages after resize, not a viable option). |
