154792 - rae.es - this website does work in NS4, not in Mozilla

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Spanish, defect)

Description

[oliv]

This is a spanish dictionnary site. I think it used to work with older Mozilla,
but I cannot confirm. It works with NS 4.77 on my machine.

How to trigger the bug:
1- go to http://www.rae.es/
2- follow the link "Diccionario 2001" at the top left. This leads to an
interface to earch the dictionary
3- type any spanish word after "Escriba la palabra que desea consultar:", or
anything else and either press "enter" or click "consultar"

What should happen and happens with NS4:
The web site either returns the definition of the word or a page saying nothing
was found ("AVISO La palabra consultada no está en el Diccionario.")

What happens in Mozilla:
a pop up says "draei could not be found. Please check the name and try again."
and nothin more.

OS: WinNT 4.0 sp5
Mozilla nightly build 2002061712

I think that this is an evangelism problem. The form action is:
"http:/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual"

Confirming that the problem exists. I guess NS 4 interprets that bad URL in a
non-standard way. The site just needs to change the URL in the form action.

Definitely tech evangelism. West Europe. Reassigning.
