289945 - Form submission fails with associated event

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

This regressed on Firefox 1.0.1 branch and the Mozilla 1.7.7 branch on 04/08;
Fx 2005-04-07-06-aviary1.0.1 works
Fx 2005-04-08-18-aviary1.0.1 broken
and
Mozilla 2005-04-08-09-1.7 works
Mozilla 2005-04-09-09-1.7 broken

-Go to the test URL for testrunner.  I haven't found a test URL yet. Perhaps Asa
can create an account at testrunner for those willing to fix this bug.

-Click the button that says either "Stop test run" or "Restart test run"

tested results: 
The browser goes blank, status says "done".  But the action requested was not
performed. 

expected results:
The action is performed and a page offering some test runner selections appears.

I know the cgi script on the server isn't broken because this works now with
builds before the regression window.

I haven't been able to find a site with another example of form submission not
working.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/quicksearch.html fails on 1.0.3 too. The onsubmit
fails to be able to see f.id.value where f is the formname and id is the input name.

here's the html for the button in testrunner

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="RESTART TEST RUN"
ONCLICK="this.form.action.value='restart'; return true; "></FORM><FORM
METHOD=POST ACTION=tr_caselogform.cgi>

maybe it's the event handler that's having trouble?

note: I'm not seeing anything in the JS console with this.
