170881 - This script doesn't seem to work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 138957

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

Description

[Dennis Ernst]

This script from the Veritas jobs site works fine under Netscape 6.2.  I tried
this in 1.1b and again in build 2002091014, both failed.  Don't know enough to
investigate further.

Dennis, what are the exact steps to reproduce?  You load the page, then what?

Confirming bug with Mozilla trunk binary 20020924xx on WinNT

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load the site
2. Select location "AL - Birmingham"
3. Select job function "Administration"
4. Click the little "Submit" button
5. In IE6, the page now displays the results of the query
6. In Moz, the page simply reloads 
7. Note, in fact, that the select boxes now show the default selections again

Reassigning to Form Submission. I don't know if the site's HTML
is valid from a form submission point of view -

<form name="frm" method="POST" onsubmit ="return ValidateForm();" action 
="/jobs/listing/SearchResultsListing.jhtml?_DARGS=%2Fjobs%2Fsearch%2FJobSearch.j
html">

which contains

<input class=box  type="image" value="submit"  
src="/images/pro/tool_submit_button.gif" width="47" height="19" border="0" 
alt="Submit" name="/veritas/jobs/JobsSearchFormHandler.submit">


Note the ValidateForm() function above, on the onsubmit handler
of the form |frm|, itself calls |frm.submit()|: 


function ValidateForm()
{
       etc.
       etc.

  if(!CountryChecked())
    return (false);

  //document.frm.action ="/jobs/listing/SearchResultsListing.jhtml";
  document.frm.submit();
}

heh! i just had two other bugs that are describing problem with servers that
cannot handle form data postings if there is an image input with name and value.
(bug 170370) this one is pretty much the same testcase. if the server is an IIS
5.0 then it could be the same problem.

This is dupe of "Submit name/value pairs for submit buttons that triggered
javascript submission"
