Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 109854

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Tony Spinillo]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    2001112012

When clicking the search button on the above url, I get:
Input Error
There was an error in your input. Please go back and ensure that all fields are
properly filled in.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.ebay.com, pick Search
2. Pick by seller 
3. Enter a seller's name  - showcase-new-england - then click search button

Actual Results:  You will get the input error. Other search on the main search
page work fine(http://pages.ebay.com/search/items/search.html). There were no
messages in the javascript console.

Expected Results:  Milestone .95 works fine. Interim releases to .96 stopped
working. It could be Ebay's fault.

My mistake. I must have mis-typed something in Bugzilla and missed the dupe.

Thanks!

Is this really a dupe of bug 109463 ? It says:

  If you execute a search using this e*Bay form, clicking the "Search" button is
  successful.  If you press Enter then Mozilla submits the fields from the
  previous form submission, or blank if this is the first time.

But this bug is about pressing the "Search" button.

I get the same "Input Error" message as the reporter.

Attachment: Network traffic from mozilla & macIE5

Attached is network traffic from a failed submission using mozilla and a
successful submission using MacIE5.  The trouble seems to be the order in which
name/value pairs are sent, as going to 

http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewListedItems&userid=showcase-new-england&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=25


in mozilla results in a successful search, whereas going to

http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?userid=showcase-new-england&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=25&MfcISAPICommand=ViewListedItems


does not.

Hellooooooo DemoteContainer()!  The form is malformed in a specific way that is
causing DemoteContainer() and therefore moving that one to the end of the string.
