From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001010 BuildID: 2000091312 A javascript: URL will cause the throbber and stop button and progress bar to flash momentarily, even if the javascript is not actually causing a change in location. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Click on a javascript: link that goes nowhere. Actual Results: Stop button, throbber, and progress bar all 'activate' momentarily. Expected Results: Stop button, throbber, and progress bar should only activate if the javascript that is run actually causes the browser to go to a new location.

Using 102409-MN6, I could reproduce this bug. I tried the same procedure with a onMouseOver and everything was normal. Not sure if this is really a bug since you are technically clicking on a link.

Confirming using WinNT trunk and branch binaries 2000102604, 2000102609. Also on Linux trunk and branch binaries 2000102608, 2000102609. But browser issue, not engine. Reassigning to Networking for further triage -

I don't see how this is a networking bug. An HTTP channel should not even be created in this case. Over to docshell for further triaging.

seems like darin's attempt didn't get it to docshell...

Some javascript: URL could conceivably be a lengthy operation involving loading content so I don't see that the throbber shouldn't be turned on just because of the schema. Perhaps it would be better for the throbber to pause for a moment before "throbbing" to allow quick loads and things like this to happen without briefly enabling it? Reassigning to XP apps
Component: Embedding: Docshell → XP Apps
Really reassigning this time

This is particularly silly with a javascript url like <a href="javascript:void(0)">. I'd think that only JavaScript that is changing the page location should activate the throbber. A delayed throbber might be a reasonable compromise for slow javascript. Changing to OS All because of Linux comments by Phil Schwartau.
