This example was tested with the 5/17/99 build for a windows platform. It was taken directly from Scott Issacs book "Inside Dynamic HTML". There are two problems: 1) The line displayed in green should expand by increasing letter spacing but it keeps expanding/contracting while the mouse moves over it without moving off of the line. 2) the line below doesn't change to a bolder style.

Tom, for the first part of the bug, I'm going to ask you to look at it. As we've seen with previous cases, the mouseover/mouseout events seem to be coming in (probably as a result of bubbling) at different and unexpected times relative to Nav 4.x. The second part is not a bug, as far as I can tell (I get the same behavior with IE 4.0) - since it's an H2, I'm not sure there is a "bolder" style. Peter, any thoughts?

For the second part (bolder) the current behavior is correct. 'bolder' is by no means guaranteed to work. There has to be a font installed on the system which has a bolder weight than the current weight (which is already bold in this case).

About part 1: Occurs on latest sun-sparc-solaris build. Marking all/all. Also, The flicker only occurs if you move the mouse from text to whitespace on a line occupied by the exploding header. This is best viewed by first resizing the window, make it really big horizontally, then frantically wave the mouse from side to side near the period at the end. For the most part, reboughner's testcase is minimal. If it's fixed there, I'd imagine it works elsewhere. In case it doesn't: it has nothing to do w/ the fact that text explodes. see http://techhouse.brown.edu/niq/mozilla/testcases/7048/jsmouseover.html if you like watching debugging printouts fly instead of flickering text, try http://techhouse.brown.edu/niq/mozilla/testcases/7048/alert_jsmouseover.html (use viewer here) The correct (I think) behavior occurs for floats. See http://techhouse.brown.edu/niq/mozilla/testcases/7048/floatnobreak.html

Moving M17.

Bulk moving [testcase] code to new testcase keyword. Sorry for the spam!

This seems fixed now.
