117959 - Ikonboard Post/Add Reply not working in 0.9.7.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 116210

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jacek Furmankiewicz]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    

One of the websites I frequent (www.doom-metal.com)uses the Ikonboard forum
software for its online forums. As of 0.9.7 I cannot post any new messages to
it. Answering to a post and pressing "Post" does nothing, Mozilla just sits
there. IE 6 on the same site works flawlessly.

Probably some sort of Javascript problem.
BTW, in my Javascript settings I have everything switched on except "script can
open windows by themselves", not sure if it is relevant.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://doom-metal.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi
2.go to any of the forums there and try replying to any message
3.type in your reply and press "Add Reply"
4.Nothing happens. Mozilla just sits there.

Actual Results:  Nothing happened. 

Expected Results:  The message should have gotten posted and the page should
have been reloaded with my reply added to the thread.

Reassigning to Browser-General until we can get more information.
This is not likely to be a problem within JavaScript Engine.

Jacek:

1. What happens if you enable "script can open windows by themselves"?
   Does that make the problem go away? 

2. Do you see any errors in Tasks > Tools > JavaScript Console?
  (be sure to clear it of any previous errors first)

i signed up for the main board at ikonboard (user name tst, password: tst) and
it works fine there. Though I see the issue on
http://doom-metal.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi. (0.9.7 win98)

I get no errors on both.

The forum comment form has a file attachment field which you are presumably 
leaving blank.  Mozilla 0.9.7 will fail to submit such forms; the problem is 
described in the release notes. This is fixed on the trunk.
