My website, will display fine in version 4.x and higher of both Netscape
Communicator and also Internet Explorer. It will not, however display in
mozilla. All of the javascript goes astray and will not work at all.

This page loads with a current M14 build, loading
"http://www.maxnet.co.nz/ns.html", the same URL that NN 4.7 does.
It does not, however, display entirely properly. In particular,
(1) Scrollbars show up around the main content frame. This is a known bug.
(2) The NEWS ticker does not display at all.
(3) The scrolling widgets for the LINKS do not work, and all of the links
display all the time, even over the grey area in the bottom right.
quintin@maxnet.co.nz, to make this bug report into something that a
software engineer can work with, problems (2) and (3) need to be
separated from one another and put into separate bug reports,
someone who understands the kind of javascript you have used needs to
determine whether it is fully W3C standards compliant, and if so,
narrow it down to the simplest code that still causes the problem.
The best person to do that may be you; if not, someone else who understand
js may step forward.
If you can break this down to two testcases, it would be a help.
If you do, please refer to the Bug-writing Guidelines at
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html
for more guidance and provide the information requested there. Thanks.
Notes on proprietary Javascript features that will not be supported in Mozilla
can be found at http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html
Tested with: 2000-01-25-08-M14 nightly binary on Windows NT 4.0
Changing component to "DOM Level 0" - seems the most likely.
Component: Browser-General → DOM Level 0

Summary: Page will not Display → Javascript on page will not display properly
Assigning all open "nobody@mozilla.org" bugs to "leger@netscape.com" to weed
thru.
Assignee: nobody → leger
The news ticker and scrolling widgets both cause Mozilla to report
TypeError: ref.layers has no properties
at dynlayer.js, line 79. So it might be a W3C standards compliance problem.
As a separate issue, clip:rect() seems to be ignored, even after all the
JavaScript has been removed.
Somewhat reduced testcases attached below.

Well, the page does make use of CSS positioning and uses document.layers to deal
with script-based management of them. Mozilla does not support layers (either
the tag or the script APIs for them). See
http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html for hints for upgrading the
page.
Note that a CSS clip:rect() compatibility issue is being addressed right now.
See bug 11559.
