Description

[harm]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020710
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.2alpha and versions before that i used (from 0.9...) 

At work we're using a CM tools called Synergy. It also has a problem tracking
tool (not as cool as bugzilla :) called ChangeSynergy. The web interface of this
problem tracking tool (WebPT) does not work with mozilla.

I'm not sure if its a bug in mozilla, or in the the WebPT tool.
I attached the page that fails (pagesource.zip)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open page
2.Press buttons (top)


Actual Results:  
Java script errors.
example errors when I pressed 3 buttons:
Error: window.document.pt_form_load.submit is not a function

Works fine with IE. didn't try netscape 4.X
All mozilla versions used didn't work.
I have javascript & java enabled.

This is because window.document.pt_form_load.submit is an image node....

Marking Verified Duplicate -

[e-mail]: thank you for zipping up the site! 
You have been cc'ed on bug 148782 so you can follow it.
Here is some HTML from the file "com.html":


The form element named "pt_button_bar" contains an <img> named "submit".
That's what's causing problems for Mozilla:


<form name="pt_button_bar" onsubmit="id_number_ChangeText();                                                                                                                           
                                          show_form_OnClick(); return(false);">

<a href="javascript:submit_form_OnClick()" 
onmouseover="window.document.submit.src='/trapeze/ptimages/bb_submit_md_act.gif'
; return true;" 
onmouseout="window.document.submit.src='/trapeze/ptimages/bb_submit_md.gif';">
<img src="com_data/bb_submit_md.gif" name="submit" width="40" height="40" 
align="middle" border="0" alt="Submit a New Change Request"></a>


There is a second form element named "pt_form_load":

<!-- ----------------------------------------------------------------- -->
<!-- pt_form_load.js -->
<!--  Loads default form values for the specified input names.-->

<form name="pt_form_load">
  <input name="ACTION_FLAG" type="hidden" value="NO_ACTION">
  <input name="TEMPLATE_FLAG" type="hidden" value="NO_ACTION">

  <!-- Problem/Task/Cvid IDs : if necessary -->
  <input name="problem_number" type="hidden" value="NO_ACTION">
  <input name="task_number" type="hidden" value="NO_ACTION">
  <input name="cvid" type="hidden" value="NO_ACTION">
	
  <!-- This is only needed for viewing an object w/ ASSOC_TASK_OBJECT.CUSTOM -->
  <input name="CHOSEN_REPORT" type="hidden" value="NO_ACTION">

  <!-- PT Security Data -->
  <input name="role" type="hidden" value="NO_ACTION">
  <input name="token" type="hidden" value="NO_ACTION">
</form>
<!-- END pt_form_load.js -->
<!-- ----------------------------------------------------------------- -->



This form is forced to submit to the server by JavaScript code:


function reload_frames()
{
  window.document.pt_form_load.method = "POST";
  window.document.pt_form_load.action =
                                  "/servlet/com.continuus.webpt.servlet.PTweb";
  window.document.pt_form_load.target = "dialog";
  window.document.pt_form_load.ACTION_FLAG.value = "frameset_form";
  window.document.pt_form_load.TEMPLATE_FLAG.value = "WebPTUser";
  window.document.pt_form_load.role.value = role;
  window.document.pt_form_load.token.value = token;
  window.document.pt_form_load.submit();
}


Notice the error Mozilla is reporting is

   "Error: window.document.pt_form_load.submit is not a function"


This shows that in Mozilla, the image named "submit" is shadowing
|pt_form_load.submit|, even though that image is not even contained
in the "pt_form_load" form. It's in the "pt_button_bar" form !
