133139 - JavaScript-generated content not being displayed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 132673

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Jonas Linde]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020323
BuildID:    2002032321

This login form to my online bank works nicely with Mozilla 0.9.9. With the
0.9.9+ nightly builds, however, the form is not shown at all. The form is
entirely generated by a javascript block in the body of the page.

There seems to be some timing issue involved because a workaround is to run with
the javascript debugger enabled or save the source to disk and edit it by
entering an alert('foo'); statement somewhere in the javascript-block within the
body-block.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to https://taz.vv.sebank.se/cgi-bin/pts3/wow/wo10.c1010.f001


Actual Results:  empty page

Expected Results:  a login form (or a text saying I have the wrong browser (such
as Opera))

I'm not sure which severity this is, but as it is a major feature (JavaScript)
that is broken (albeit only on a single/few sites) I'll file it as major.

I narrowed down the build where this bug first appeared: the 0.9.9+.2002031906
or earlier builds display the form as expected but the 0.9.9+.2002032006 or
later builds display nothing at all.

According to the text that gets displayed on "non-supported" browsers (such as
Opera) the form is deigned to work with Mozilla 0.9.5 or later.

Confirming with Mozilla trunk binary 20020322xx WinNT.
OS: Linux ---> All.

Just load the attached HTML above; it comes up blank.
This bug is a duplicate of bug 132673, "last thing in a script
created with document.write does not show".

I will show this below. In the meantime, reassigning to Layout
for parity with duplicate bug -

Comment 6

Mozilla displays the reduced HTML testcase as blank.
But it displays the modified version just fine.

The only difference betweent the original and the modified version
is an extra line at the end: 

                  document.write('<br>');

This, I believe, shows this to be a duplicate of bug 132673,
"last thing in a script created with document.write does not show".
