Details
This bug is valid for WinNT 01/15/99, MacOS 8.5 01/15/99, and Linux 01/15/99
Expected:
There is a 'Headlines' ticker at planetquake.com, a minimized version is
available at the above url. It is bordered(top and bottom) by two parallel orange
lines. Inbetween the lines little blurbs should scroll by in yellow. The blurbs
are links and there should be some plaintext in white associated with each link.
Result:
All you see are the two parallel lines.
to reproduce just click on the above url. However there are currently two bugs
affecting the ability to validate/reproduce this bug.
See: 2363 - javascript doesn't work at all and
2437 - view source broken
depending on the status for the above bugs and your platform you'll be able to
accurately reproduce this bug
Vidur: Here's a min. test case that shows the ticker bug. Please take a look...

I'm trying to clear up my radar and came across this bug. The other bugs that were blocking reproducibility are all resolved
fixed.....
This bug is still/now reproducible on all platforms...
*the url points to a min testcase (html/javascript contained within) but there is a javascript error in the testcase. You can still go to
www.planetquake.com to see the behavior

*update* - nothing special, just noting that this bug is stil valid and reproducible for Apprunner(orignally logged against viewer)
on all 3 platforms. Oh yeah the testcase works fine now(in Nova). I'm not sure it was *really* broken.

just carrying over info from dupe bug like the cc's and the following comments(Vidur 03/23/99):
A couple of backward compatibility issues:
1) document.layers
2) Image positions (the x and y properties)
Eric, we need to make a final call on compatibility with layers.

sford4 is correct and did the right think in INVALIDing this. This is invalid
b/c Mozilla won't support layers. claudius, please read over
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html#layerbugs for full explanation.
Thanks!

Moving all [LAYER] bugs to Evangelism component for tracking and open-source
evangelism by mozilla community members of sites that need to upgrade to support
web standards such as HTML 4.0 (instead of LAYER/ILAYER) and the W3C DOM
(instead of Nav4 document.layers[] or IE document.all()). Sites should be
lobbied to do the upgrade using the email templates that are linked to from
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html#layerbugs . When a site's owner
has confirmed receipt of the message requesting an upgrade, the bug should be
marked with the keyword evangelized to indicate that evangelism for that bug is
complete. When the site finishes the upgrade and supports standards, the bug
should be closed.

ekrock: please do not rubber-stamp verify bugs that you marked as resolved.
The whole point of a separate verified state is that two people should check
the resolution, since we are not infallible.
VERIFIED that http://www.planetquake.com/, the original URL referenced in this
bug report, cannot be evangelised since they no longer use a ticker.
