132802 - form control doesn't show written by document.writeln

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 132673

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.9+)

This page's form includes a submit button whose <input>...</input> is created by
document.writeln.  The button does not appear and hence the page isn't usable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the page (it is slow to load)
2. Observe that the submit button beneath the login/password input boxes is
never drawn.

- I visit this place monthly, it worked last month. ;-)
- You ask for "test cases."  My first step in thinking about making such was to
File, Save As.  I noted that when I double click the file the input submit
button *is* drawn.  So I stopped there.
- The button's style class isn't quoted--does that matter?
- I've left this bug classified in browser-general; I can see it go in JS, in
forms, in networking or cache or style.  Don't know what's right.
