The problem described in this section is fixed in Firefox 3.0, so if you use the Firefox web browser, we recommend that you upgrade to Firefox 3.0 or later. The latest version is Firefox 3.0.4.
When the Mozilla Foundation has released versions 2.0.0.12 to 2.0.0.15 of its web browser Firefox these updates introduced a problem that prevents Cradle web UIs being rendered correctly in all situations.
The problem is not serious. It affects users’ ability to switch between tree and table views in the Cradle web UIs supplied by 3SL. If you use the Master Tree viewer to browse items in your database and you scroll down in the tree and you then switch to either the Browse Control or process hierarchy views, then these new views will appear to be empty. You will need to scroll upwards in these other views to see the data view controls in these views. Once you have scrolled upwards, the controls will appear and will operate correctly.
This behaviour will happen every time that you scroll down in the Master Tree view so that the top of the tree is no longer visible.
We have reported this problem to Mozilla, and have received confirmation from them that this is, indeed, a bug. You can track the progression of this issue at:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416839
We regret any inconvenience that this may cause users who are using both Cradle web UIs and the Firefox browser.
At the moment, the only alternative is to revert to a previous version of Firefox, such as either 2.0.0.10 or 2.0.0.11, or to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, version 3.0.2. Our recommendation is to upgrade to Firefox version 3.0.4.
