153893 - Auto refreshing stops after a link click.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Dave Fennell]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611
BuildID:    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611

If you have a page which reloads automatically using a "Refresh" meta tag, when
any "HREF" type link is clicked the refreshing stops.  Even if the link is only
a piece of javascript or a "#" type link to elsewhere on the page.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a HTML page which refreshes using a "Refresh" meta tag.
2.Include a link on the page such as "<A HREF="#">moo</A>".


Actual Results:  Clicking the link stops the page refreshing.

Expected Results:  I would have thought the page would go on refreshing until
either the "Stop" button was pressed or the window.location actually changed,
not when a HREF has been clicked.

I have installed a newer Mozilla - Mozilla 1.1a+
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020624 to be
precise.  On windows 2000 pro. this still displays the bug.
