User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7 As Netscape does, Camino reloads on web pages that use CSS and have told Netscape browsers to reload after a window resize. This was frustrating, especially when I had entered tons of form data and made the mistake of resizing the window. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a site that reloads if the browser is Netscape. 2. Resize the window. Actual Results: The site reloaded, clearing form data. Expected Results: The site should not reload; form data should remain.
Tech Evangelism, it's that site's own fault. In function reDo in <http://college.hmco.com/shared/javascript/menu.js>, they test navigator.appVersion for the presence of "Netscape" and the *absence* of "4.0" to determine whether or not to reload. What they meant to do was test for the *presence* of "4.0". That is, we see: if(navigator.appName=="Netscape" && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("4.0")==-1) where we would expect to see: if(navigator.appName=="Netscape" && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("4.0")!=-1) Actually, it's silly for them to test for browser version here, since they already do extensive browser sniffing in <http://college.hmco.com/shared/javascript/platform.js> and <http://college.hmco.com/shared/javascript/common_functions.js>.

In Moz 1.4a OSX, the quiz selections are retained after the resize, avoiding dataloss. Contact addresses are support@hmco.com and http://college.hmco.com/cgi-bin/SaCGI.cgi/college/catalog.class?FNC=GoWriteToUs__Fcust_serv_midpage_html

See bug 235871: The same problem, adding a skin that resizes on a page load, causes continuous reloads.
URL is now broken although problem still remains in the JS, so I suppose reporter should provide a new URL.
