Go to the URL , find the vote section, and pick one of the answers of their poll
(A, B, C, or D). A new window with 2 frames (only the first one is visible,
because the second one has a hight of zero). The second (invisible) frame is
used to pre-load some images while the text in the visible frame asks the user
to wait untile the images are loaded (" Bitte Warten - Grafiken werden
geladen"). The javascript in the second invisible frame then should change the
URL of the first frame to the html code that displays the result. Unfortunately
Mozilla most of the time only displays the text that asks me to wait without
proceding to display the results of the poll. It could be a timing issue since
Mozilla doesn't always fail to display the results.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://giga.de/home/ and find the vote section
2. click one of the buttons (A, B, C, or D)
3. a new window opens that should display the result of the poll

Actual Results:  A new window opens that tells me to wait while Mozilla
pre-loads images

Expected Results:  After the window has opened the window should display the
result of the poll.

It usually works the first time you try it. If you then try to vote for a
different (or the same) poll, Mozilla usually fails to disply the results. I did
set a breakpoint in the second frame at the sourcecode line
'parent.oben.location.href = "...."' to see whether Mozilla actually tries to
change the href of the other frame. What I found out is that even though Mozilla
does parse that line, the propery of parent.oben.location.href does not change
at all! Only manually changing the property in Venkman (i.e. eval
parent.oben.location.href="http://www.cnn.com/") does change the visible first
frame.

Confirmed, 2002032610 Win 2000.  Doesn't even work the first time.  Perhaps this
is a Win 2000 issue?

I just tried it with the latest build 20020407 and I was no longer able to
trigger the bug so it looks like it got fixed.
