Bug 12919 – Mouse-over links on panoramic image not linking to correct URL

• Component: DOM
• Status: NEW

[Gibbons Burke]

The page has a panoramic image made up of six panes. When the mouse hovers over each of the panes it highlights the pane with a blue rectangle, and the click action links to a URL to show an enlarged version of the pane.

In Safari/Webkit as well as the current version of Safari distributed in 10.4, when I put my mouse over any of the panes it always links to the fourth pane at this URL:

http://www.fourmilab.ch/images/lignieres_alpes/figures/alpan_band_4.html

This problem does not occur in Firefox on the Mac, and on the PC Opera 9.1, Firefox 2, or IE 6 and 7.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

At a first glance, the problem seems to be caused by this code having no effect:

document.getElementById("panlink").pathname =
	    document.getElementById("panlink").pathname.replace(/_band_\d/, "_band_" + where);

I am unable to reproduce this bug using Mac nightly r86007.
