137398 - bank site not working properly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 104470

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

Description

[Miloslaw Smyk]

Mozilla 2002041307, Linux-i686, but this problem started somewhere after 0.9.4
release (which does not have this bug).

Summary: menu frame is not changing its contents when you are accessing your
account, which makes it impossible to do anything practical with the account.

Steps to reproduce: This is banking site and you need a valid id/pw to access it
as real user. Fortunately, their demo also exibits this bug.

1. Visit http://www.mbank.com.pl/demo/index.html
2. Use "demo"/"12341234" as password/id.
3. Click "Zatwierdz" ("Confirm").
4. You will be taken to a new page with four accounts listed in the main frame.
The frame on the left show menu options.
5. Click on "eMax" account (or any of the other three).
6. Observe that the main frame changes and lists some details about the account.
However, menu-frame on the left is still the same.

Step 6 is different in IE, NS4.x and when running Mozilla under Windows - the
menu-frame has new contents with options for handling this particular account.

I see this "broken" but only when "open unrequested windows" is unchecked in
preferences.  The function the bank uses to load the menu on the left is
window.open().

Duplicate of "dom.disable_open_during_load breaks opens targeted to frames or
existing named windows"
