Details

In the following html, clicking on the first button does not submit the form
while the second button will.   However, the html code for both buttons is
identical.

<Haven't checked source to see if it's related, but the 11.30.98 build won't
allow searches on Altavista; specfically, pressing the Search button yields no
activity, and doesn't result in form submission.>

Seems like a parser bug?

Eli was correct above, the altavista case is identical.  I've marked it, and
another duplicate, as such.

BTW, the above page can be reduced to:
http://blueviper/forms/formintable1.html or at it's simplest:
http://blueviper/forms/formintable.html
BTW, this bug was changed by Rick's parser updates.  Now neither of the buttons
on the test page works.  This points more fingers at it being a parser bug.

It's baaaaaack!

Test pages:

http://altavista.com
http://netaddress.com

The submit button must now be pressed twice to submit the form (on linux).
The browser crashes sometimes on the second click (on linux).

Chris, you were right -  a form frame is not being created.
Here are some test cases:

http://blueviper/forms/formintable.html -- Form frame is created

From original test case:
http://blueviper/forms/formintable1.html -- Form frame NOT created

From www.netaddress.com main page login form:
http://blueviper/forms/formintable2.html -- Form frame NOT created

From www.altavista.com main page search form:
http://blueviper/forms/formintable3.html -- Form frame NOT created
Putting myself on the CC list.  Let me know if I can help.
Adding another URL with same problem.

The forms in the examples and URLs are now submitting. However,
http://www.netaddress.com is having a problem in the single signon code and I
will file a new bug and assign it to Morse.

tested sample page and altavista on 2/03/99 build on win95 - the submit button
works fine, no crashing.

Paul -- can you please verify on linux
Chris -- can you please verify on mac
Don verified the 1st url on the Mac.
The submit button on both URL example given work on the Mac Viewer build Feb 03.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
All examples OK on Linux. Still need to click twice to submit some forms - there
is a separate bug on this. Marking this one verified.
