Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Michael Marxmeier]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011022
BuildID:    2001102210

JavaScript code which is triggered on form submit used
to work with previous builds (last verified 2001-10-15-13)
but results in the message below with this build.

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE) [nsIDOMHTMLFormElement.submit]"  nsresult:
"0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE)"  location: "JS frame ::
http://internal/nova-info/sys/login.php3?redirect=%2Fnova-info%2Fbase%2Findex.php3&auth_msg=Bitte+anmelden.
:: Frm_submit :: line 95"  data: no]

Reproducible: Always

The script is basically this (slightly edited for brevity)

function Frm_submit()
{
  var now;

  document.slogin.user.value = document.login.user.value;
  str = document.login.user.value+...
  document.slogin.response.value = MD5(str);
  now = new Date();
  document.slogin.submit_time.value = now.getTime() / 1000;
  document.slogin.submit();
  return false;
}

<form name="slogin"
 action="login.php3" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="user">
<input type="hidden" name="submit_time">
<input type="hidden" name="response">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="...">
</form>

Instead of submitting the original form it does in 
fact transfer some information to another form which 
is then submitted and the original submit is cancelled.

I don't see a checkin to fix this, but it now is working for me using build 
2001102708. I tested this using my testcase from Bug 105989.

Steven: Same here. I just checked with build 2001-10-29-09
and i can no longer reproduce this. Mozilla behaves correctly
again. From my point of view this bug should be closed.
