That's actually a stylesheet problem, not a javascript one. It looks like
you're using some version of Netsacape 4 for X. Which I happen to be using at
the moment too, so I can tell you exactly what to do: select Preferences under
the Edit menu, go to the Advanced tab, turn Stylesheets on. Stylesheets don't
get misused very much, Netscape has pretty solid support, and they make
LEGO.com look much nicer, so I can recommend that with good conscience.

It's generic CSS1, part of the official W3C standard, but it shouldn't break
like that if you don't have stylesheets turned on. Thanks for finding that bug,
we should be able to fix it some time soon.

Hmm. I've always had Stylesheets turned on, since, as far as I know, they
are not a security problem. I tried visiting the same page with them
turned off and it is indeed different. The main problem that I see is
the darkness of the background (especially the "BUILD" blocks), with
the small black text on top of it.

However, thanks for looking into it. You were right about the Netscape
version, however - its 4.72 on X on Linux.

Looked like it would be quite interesting. So, I enabled cookies and went
for a look. I gave up after 30 seconds, however - tiny black letters on
a fairly dark background made it extremely difficult to read. Perhaps
your page designers haven't tried the page with Netscape (with Javascript
disabled)?

For any curious, I took a snapshot:

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.

(...) Your snapshot (...) don't see anything like your snapshot. I only see the blue background once on the title bar. The rest of the page has a white background.

There's a known bug, at least in the Mac version of Netscape 4.x where turning off Javascript also turns off stylesheets. You must browse a lot of shady sites if you're that concerned about JavaScript security breeches ;-) (...) (24 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
