I've spent time today trying to reproduce the problem I reported yesterday. It doesn't seem to be happening but I'll continue trying off and on.
One good data point - it was the GE "Ecomagination" ads. In firefox, they used to automatically slide the bottom edge downward, obliterating the article text and then retracting automatically. I would have to do a copy/paste to an editor to read the text that wasn't repainted. My guess is it's very poorly written javascript. Now you have to mouse over a pointer on the bottom of the ad to get it to slide down. The problem with the link I sent you is that it's for a news article and they rotate through various advertisements so it's not that helpful. At least this way, you have a chance of reproducability if you can find a web-based cache of their site. regards, Chris "Hilario J.
