I do have a problem with images which are links.
So seen on the left side of http://www.spiegel.de
for example 'Home'

Other Imagelinks work fine so I was wondering what the
difference may be? As far as I understood, the different
popups are set to provide different menues - so far so
good. But this map on the left does not give me any popup?

I doubt that is a bug, but rather the use of non-standard javascript... I find a lot of sites that use the M$ non-standard stuff.

Nick

There's something in the Mozilla code that prevents an embedding program from putting a popup on an imagemap.

Could be because we do have
DocumentPopup {
TextPopup {
LinkPopup {
ImagePopup {
ImageLinkPopup {

But no hm ImageMapLinkPopup and ImageMapPopup?

Nicole,

Are you are referring to the Text Popup over the images?

If so, add an alt tag with "Home" text to this image on the home page:

<img src="http://static.spiegel.de/static/sys/nav_rubrik_hi.gif"; name="home" width=19 height=20 border=0>

The rest of the images have a popup because they get their alt text from the Image Map.

Andrew

We're talking about the popup menu you (should) get when you right click the image.

Thanks Scratch,

yes I talk about the righ-click-popup.

I usually go on such sites and start via right-click several new windows each with one section (spiegel is a big news magazin) and the go through each window. If finished I can just close this.

Nicole,

OK. Scratch got it right the first time. This is a known bug with Mozilla. See:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111414

Andrew

If I read this correctly, it won't work on any imagelink - which seems to be wrong as it just effects imagemaps.

We wait and see.
Nicole

Nicole,

No, it also affects linked images. You can try it on the test case that is listed in the bug report.

Andrew

I get a popup menu when clicking either of the images in that testcase, or any other linked image on any other website. However, with any image map (i.e. the URL Nicole posted, the top of yahoo.com, the top of ebay.com), I don't get a popup menu. I believe Jeff told me in an email that the problem is embedding doesn't get access to this event, but it was a while ago so that might not be accurate.

Scratch,

You are getting the right-click context menus on the test case? Hmm...

Andrew

Jup, same here.
Again: These are single linked images and we do have

DocumentPopup {
TextPopup {
LinkPopup {
ImagePopup {
ImageLinkPopup {

but no ImageMapLinkPopup and ImageMapPopup.

Nicole,

Sorry for the confusion. The problem with linked images is only in MFCEmbed, the embedded Mozilla. It does work in K-Meleon.

Here's the Mozilla bug for Imagemaps:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33583

Andrew

That doesn't seem to be the correct bug either, that one deals with the wrong popup coming up (the one for a link rather than the one for a linked image). I'm not getting any popup at all on imagemaps.

Scratch,

Hmm...well, I'll see if I can track down the correct one. I'm sure there is a bug for this.

Andrew

Scratch,

OK, I think I have this straight now. This bug is the correct one:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111414

However, in K-Meleon's case, it only applies to linked imagemaps. K-Meleon does properly handle linked images (unless the link is a javascript function but that's another bug!).

As far as I know, there is no separate Mozilla bug for this.

Andrew

Isn't it a K-Meleon issue then? I was pretty sure Jeff told me that it was a Mozilla problem though... anyway, it should either be reported to the K-Meleon bug tracker or to Bugzilla once we find out which it is.

Scratch,

The bug of no context menu on imagemaps is a bug in the embedded version of Mozilla. That's why I filed this bug:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111414

K-Meleon inherits the bug from Mozilla.

There is actually a recent bug with Mozilla crashing on right-clicks on imagemaps. But, I'm not sure if that is related to the bug that we experience.

To summarize:

Linked Images: K-Meleon properly displays context menu on right-click
Linked Images (Javascript Link): K-Meleon does not display any context menu on right-click - Bug #111320 at Mozilla.
Linked Imagemaps: K-Meleon does not display any context menu on right-click - Bug #111414 at Mozilla.

Did I miss anything?

Andrew

Yes. The fixing date ;o]

My understanding is that the embedded version of Mozilla doesn't display any context menus at all, and it's up to the embedding program to create the menus. So, either KM just isn't creating the menu for imagelink popups, or Mozilla isn't properly sending the message that it wants a popup when you right-click on an imagemap. It seems to me that in the former case it's a K-Meleon bug and should be reported as such, and in the latter case there should be a specific Mozilla bug about it, with an imagemap testcase.

Scratch,

I'm not sure if that was true in the past but MFCEmbed does create context menus for page info, images and links. I think the bug is in Mozilla on Imagemaps. K-Meleon does generate a context menu on images and linked images. I intended for:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111414

to cover both linked images and linked imagemaps. Do you think they should be separate bugs? I could add an imagemap test case to 111414.

Andrew

Wow. No, really - wow!

As of yesterdays nightly build (06. jan) the Nasty Imagemap Bug (TM) has been finally fixed. Yesterdays build broke whole lotta things (including preferences on win32) but developers are all forgiven just because of this fix. Now this is a milestone :-P
