RE: [cobalt-users] [XTR] Admin Left hand Navigation buttons gone in Mozilla Firefox

["Ligard, Vidar" <vligard@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all who corresponded on this thread.

I was able to solve the problem, and have not seen any problem with
either Mozilla or IE since.

The style on the left hand navigation was set to turn off visibility by
default. Changing this fixed it.

In the file /usr/sausalito/ui/web/libJs/collapsibleList.js
(My file was dated Dec 12, 2000.)

Line 249 has: 
    249   doc.write("<DIV ID=\""+_cList_elementId+"\"
STYLE=\"position:absolute;         visibility:hidden; left:"+_cList_x+";
top:"+_cList_y+";\">");          

I changed the "visibility:hidden" to "visibility:visible", and it works
fine.
