104578 - Crashes on javascript link

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Rob Lowrie]

Go to the URL and for any of the items listed, click on the "magnifying glass".
A new window is created, which soon disappears, and then typically the entire
browser crashes (sometimes, the browser does _not_ crash, but try it a few times).

Here is the HTML for a "magnifying glass" link at the site:

<a href="javascript:;" 
   onClick="JustSoPicWindow('images/pitchers_all_lg.jpg','382','175',
           '* * Click screen to close * *','#FFFFFF','hug image','5');
           return document.MM_returnValue">

<img src="../graphics/icon_details.gif" 
     width="22" height="39" align="absmiddle" border="0">

</a>


That looks pretty goofy to me: the href="javascript:;" together with
a JS function on the onClick() event...

The javascript:; thingy looks familiar to some problems we were once had with
other javascript: URLs e.g., "javascript:2+2" I'll see if I can find the
original bug to see if it sheds light on this issue.

Comment 13

[Adam Lock]

-> 0.9.7

Never found that previous JS problem.

Comment 14

[Adam Lock]

-> 1.0.1

I'm using mozilla 1.0 on linux.
I point the browser to url logosol.com.
Website asks me to get java plugin.
I installed sun's jre/java plugin.
Now when I point mozilla to logosol.com the browser crashes.
If I remove libjavaplugin_oji140.so from /usr/local/mozilla/plugins 
and restart mozilla I can once again go to site logosol.com without 
browser crashing.

Comment 16

[Phil Schwartau]

I think that on Linux it is essential in /usr/local/mozilla/plugins
to have a SYMLINK to libjavaplugin_oji140.so, not the file itself -

See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133795#c51

[Juan José Mata]

Changing target milestone to 'Future' since 'mozilla1.0.1' came and went already.

Comment 18

[Daniel Wang]

This is a rather old bug. Reporter (Rob Lowrie), does this problem exist with a
newer build?

Comment 19

[Adam Lock]

Javascript href / onclick has recently changed. A recent Linux trunk build WFM
so I am marking such.

Please reopen if the problem can be reproduced. BTW I'm referring to the problem
that the bug was opened for, not the logosol.com thing at the bottom which
should live in its own bug.
