problem: the text box for entering a name for a search is missing.
QA Contact: 4130
Update: found while doing the "top sites" checking. Using the latest seamonkey builds available today 2/5.
(note on bugs #2960, #2961, #2963 and #2965. -- www.ibm.com) By the way ... www.ibm.com dynamically generates *every* page, both server-side and with all kinds of client-side javascript (including pixel-specific fragments driven by OS, browser, and version). (Look at the HTML source and it is echoing your user-agent, dns and exact time). If I save what 4.5 gets to disk and load it into nglayout, I get pretty good agreement in the two pages including 1) having the 'Go' instead of the 'arrow', 2) getting the background color, 3) getting the text box. (There are a couple of quirks: 1) small <input> box but that's a <style> issue, and 2) wrong color for <A> (blue not white) .. don't know why).
With build 3/3 the text box is now there, but the drop-down list to the right of it is not
I'll restate my earlier point about #2960, #2961, #2963 & #2965(INVA), but perhaps more clearly this time: _These_are_NOT_bugs_. This is _not_ an apples-to-apples comparison -- www.ibm.com is emitting _COMPLETELY_ different HTML for 'Mozilla/5.0 [en] (Win95; I)' vs. 'Mozilla/4.5 [en] (Win95; I)' (and, I _guess_ for Unix/Mac agent strings). (This is true for the current page design/style, and for the recently retired page design of www.ibm.com). [Please email me if you need more information -- John].
I'm changing the QAC to myself(in the case where I am not already QAC) for bugs 2960,2961,2963, and 2965 so i can track them together since they may have a major issue in common. I will also huddle with John(3jrgm@qlink.queensu.ca) to see if we can resolve these issues quickly and easily.
The issues that 3jrgm@qlink.queensu.ca so rightly raised can now be tracked at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3688 (servers sending broken HTML based on mozilla/5.0 user agent)
