353512 - shop.usps.com - after going back, JavaScript page number links stop working

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

If you click Buy next to a product in the USPS shop, then hit page back in the toolbar, the numbered page links at the top of the window stop working.  These try to run JavaScripts but don't appear to do anything at all.  They work until you do this.

This also happens in Firefox 1.5.0.7, by the way.

I can reproduce this, too. It only happens when bfcache is enabled.

I changed the URL to a page where this is reproducible using the steps in comment 0.

Ok, the buy links, typically use this:
onclick="Add2ShopCart(document.getElementById('OrderItemAddForm_2')); return false;"


function Add2ShopCart(form)
{
	if (!busy) 
	{
		busy = true;
		form.action.value="OrderItemAdd";
		form.URL.value="OrderCalculate?URL=OrderItemDisplay";
		form.submit();
	}
}


The numbered links, typically use this: javascript:processSearchForm(document.CatalogSearchResultForm,6)

var busy = false;
function processSearchForm(form, beginIndex)
{
	if (!busy){
	  busy = true;
	  form.beginIndex.value = beginIndex;
	  form.pageSize.value = 6;
	  form.submit();
	}
}

So after going back, busy is still true, because of bfcache that value is cached.
