16626 - Listed URL causes apprunner to crash

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[ltskinol]

The (female) masses need this one fixed!

I do know that eBay uses several giant HTML forms on this page.  Perhaps
that's the problem.

The bug occurs in the Linux release of M10, on a standard RedHat 6.0
install.  It seems to still be there as of the CVS version of two
days ago.

Crash replicated with 1999-10-17-09-M11 on Windows NT.

URL begins loading, some content is displayed, and then CRASH.

Could this matter:  part of the content that did come up
said something to the effect of "You must be an EBAY member to sell..."
If the EBAY cgi is assuming that nobody will view this page without
having signed up, this could be a cookie problem.

Added a testcase that crashes M10 on Win95, haven't tested on more recent builds
or other platforms.

The page has a huge JavaScript-enhanced form that seems to be causing the crash.
The problem appears when options are added to SELECT fields in the form, which
is what the testcase does. Moving the script out of the form (in the testcase)
gets rid of the crash, but the results still aren't what you would expect:
Instead of getting a new option "foo", an "X" appears, at least on my config.

Changing platform=os=all and component=DOM 0 and reassigning.

[Chad House]

Checked testcase on Linux (RH6.0) with M10 and 1999102109 builds. M10 crashed on
loading, but the 1999102109 build worked fine.

Also works correctly on 1999-11-06-08-M11 on Win NT.
No crash on load or while exercising the form; form works except for
annoying display problem as the javascript updates the <selects> (bug 18189).
