157145 - Back button doesn't work on motoversum.de after form submission [Bugscape 17267]

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

Breaks on a AOL partner site - http://bugscape.netscape.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17267

-Goto http://www.motoversum.de/

-The form there is for finding cars.  You can just press the "ERGEBNIS ANZEIGEN"
link to submit the form.

-The resulting page has the results of the search.  Back button doesn't work
(works fine in IE, broken in embedding partners).

Interesting is that if I start in a tab with no history and submit, the back
button's history contains 3 urls, rather than the expected one.

Just visiting the page creates 2 entries in session history, instead of 1 (Look
at the Go menu). Shall look into what's going on.

cc'ing evangelism...

This page has a funky onLoad handler that  creates a new iframe  and loads
about:blank in it. Also, this newly appended iframe or the previously created
ones are never used again. Every time you click on a link in the site, new
iframes are created and added to the parent. Since new  subframes are created
and appended after the main page is done loading, session history treats them as
new loads and creates new entries for them. That's why just going to the site
adds 2 entries in session history for the site and each subframe navigation
creates 2 entries  instead of one.

Shouldn't we disregard iframes with about:blank for session history?

[Michael Dunn]

There seems to be debate here about if we should fix (and how) or whether we
should try to evangelise the site. Coimments?

I think Evangelism can take care of this...
