Using 3/1 build on Win 95, Win 98, Win NT, Linux and Mac8.5 (2/26 build). Open the URL. There are 3 main columnar tables on the page. The table on the left has an image heading titled 'Forbes Digital Tool'. About a third of the way down the table there are two images titled 'Forbes MarketPlace' and 'Advertisers Information' that appear to 'clip on' to the table . The javascript for these 'clip ons' is contained outside the HTML element tag. The content of the script is as follows: <DIV ID="menu1img"><A HREF="javascript:menu1.showElement()"><IMG SRC="/tool/images/ad_info.gif" ALT="Advertisers Information" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="130" WIDTH="15"></A></DIV> <DIV ID="menu1box"><A HREF="http://www.cliquepoint.com/forbes">Clique</A><BR><A HREF="http://www.bridge.com">Bridge</A><BR><A HREF="http://www.gateway.com">Gateway</A><BR><A HREF="http://www.oracle.com">Oracle</A><BR><A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</A><BR><A HREF="http://www.stockplayer.com">StockPlayer</A><BR></DIV> <DIV ID="menu2img"><A HREF="javascript:menu2.showElement()"><IMG SRC="/tool/images/fmarketplc.gif" ALT="Clique Samples" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="130" WIDTH="15"></A></DIV> <DIV ID="menu2box"><IMG SRC="/tool/images/clique.gif" HSPACE="2" ALIGN="right"><A HREF="http://www.cliquepoint.com/forbes">Forbes/Clique Marketplace </A><BR><A HREF="http://www.forbes.com/subscribeindex.htm">Forbes Subscriptions</A><BR></DIV> Appears to be server-side javascript? Can't isolate any further.

Chris -- I need you to refresh my memory. What exactly is the problem? Is it that the JS is not executing?
I isolated the test case to the following: <html> <body> <div> </div> </body> </html> so that the only content in the HTML doc is the BODY element tag and the DIV element tag. In this case, whether or not the DIV element(and contents)is inside (http://slip/projects/marvin/bugs/forbes_div_inside.html) or outside (http://slip/projects/marvin/bugs/forbes_div_outside.html) the HTML element tag, the contents render correctly. The problem does not seem to be whether the DIV element is inside or outside the HTML element tag. I will research further.
