153165 - Session history funky.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 138491

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Erin Dalzell]

From Bug 103978:

(WinXP, build: 2002053012)

http://f1.racing-live.com/en/ CONFIRMED, the back button is greyed out if I
visit a link.

BUT this is only reproducable if you start with a clean tab or a clean window
(i.e. no previous history), if you visit some other site first, and then go to
http://f1.racing-live.com/en/ (in the same window/tab) and then click on a link
- then the history works as it should.


------- Additional Comment #100 From Frederic Nilsson 2002-06-20 10:37 -------

I'm really sorry for spamming, but the history does not work alright. :)

Case A:
1) Go to http://f1.racing-live.com/en/
2) Click on a news link
Case A behaviour: History back is greyed out and empty.

Case B:
1) Go to any site, like mozilla.org
2) Paste in http://f1.racing-live.com/en/ in the address field and go there
3) Click on a news link
3) Go back one step - you will be at mozilla.org
4) Go back one step more - you will be on one of the subframes of
http://f1.racing-live.com/en/ (looks really weird)

I can confirm the wonky behaviour. I am on the 1.1Alpha W2K build.

I have seen this before. If you notice,  When you visit this site, the throbber
never stops and the icon stays at hour-glass. This indicates that the page is
not completely loaded. Infact the throbber never stops  at this site or in any
of its children, nomatter how long you wait.  The network module and thereby
session history think that more data is coming and is in a state awaiting more
data. When you click on one of the links, session history thinks that this
subframe is the awaited data and therefore does not add a new entry to it. The
page perhaps has a document.writeln() without a corresponding document.close().
But  this problem is specific to this site and because of the factor that the
page never stops loading. marking Invalid.
