From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311 BuildID: 2002031104 If I configure Mozilla under preferences as such: disable: Advanced --> Scripts & Windows --> Allow webpages to: "Open unrequested windows" The web page storing the Java applet on the refered page fails to load. The web page storing the Java applet is loaded based off a cookie evaluation done by a proceeding page (the page displaying "Please Wait..."), so that I can present return viewers the applet size they selected. I'm suspecting this is actually now a "feature" rather than a bug, but I would like clarification please. if I enable: Advanced --> Scripts & Windows --> Allow webpages to: "Open unrequested windows" The web page storing the Java applet is loaded correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter preferences 2. Disable "Allow webpages to: 'Open unrequested windows'" 3. Attempt to load page correctly. Actual Results: Page fails to present viewer applet to visitor. Expected Results: It should have correctly loaded the page presenting the applet. None at this time.
IMHO, this is the expected behaviour. The frame page loading Java looks has the following JavaScript code: readCookie() [...] if (ReturnValue == "1") { window.open("applet1.html", target="viewer"); and the page itself has <body OnLoad="readCookie()">Please Wait... So it won't open window with applet unless you disable 'open unrequested window' pref. Propose to mark INVALID.
Yes, marking as INVALID. Feel free to re-open this if you can justify it, but this page opens a pop-up unrelated to a click (which I would argue is quite bad form), and can be changed easily.
