132080 - dst.dk - window.open on page load is used for redirection

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Danish, defect)

Description

[Jonas Jørgensen]

* Make sure that you have dom.disable_open_during_load turned on
* Go to http://www.dst.dk/10
* Click the first link in the list ("Danmarks Statistikbank")

You will now find yourself staring at a message saying "Du stilles nu videre til
www.statistikbanken.dk", which means "You will now be redirected to
www.statistikbanken.dk", but nothing happens.

This is the code that tries to redirect you:

<script language="JavaScript">
function hoptil ( )
{ 
nytvindue = window.open ("http://www.statistikbanken.dk"  )
}
</SCRIPT>

It is fired through an onload attribute, so dom.disable_open_during_load blocks it.

The site should be evanged to use a non-window.open-based redirection method.
(Personally, I wouldn't call windows.open a "redirection method" at all since it
leaves you with a window containing the original page.)
