Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Shayon Mukerjee]

BuildID: 2001112009.  Note:  I've never seen this work in Mozilla.

Since I doubt any of you have an account to actually check this, and I'm not
giving out my personal info, I will explain as much as I can.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Go to http://www.allfirst.com/personal/online/online.html
2) Click on "Logon to Allfirst Banking"
3) Enter your login information
4) the LOGON button does nothing.

This works in NS4.7 and IE5

The site uses:

  void function DoSubmit(value)
  {
    // do stuff
  }

And:

<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Logon" onClick="DoSubmit('Submit');">

The problem is that in JavaScript |void| means "execute this code and do not
return a value".  It does _not_ mean the same thing as void in c/C++.  In
particular putting void before code that's supposed to define a function means
the function is _not_ defined.  To test:

javascript:alert(function foo () { })
javascript:alert(void function foo () { })

So the DoSubmit function is not defined and clicking on the button leads to a js
error and nothing else.  The "void" before the function definition needs to go.

Allfirst.com has updated their web site.  The new login can be found here:
https://secure2.allfirst.com/SRV/IHBLogon.jsp

Thankfully, it works fine in Mozilla now.

Not sure what to do with this bug -- marking it fixed seems reasonable (since
this issue has been fixed) so that is what I've done.
