Details
bgColor properties when try to change color of child window just invoked
through open method fails to change backgroud color. You can view the script
and test the bug at http://web.njit.edu/~vsm3/bgColorBug.html. This only
happens in Netscape 7, while works fine with IE 5.5 and Netscape 4.x browsers.
Seems to be a bug.
Here is the script of bgColor.html :
<html>
<script language=JavaScript>
var wx;
function newWin() {
wx=window.open
("testPage.html","VHELP","resizable,height=400,width=450,resizable=yes,scrollbar
s=yes");
//wx.document.bgColor="#ff0000";
//wx.onLoad = self.paintWin;
//wx.document.body.onLoad = self.paintWin;
wx.onLoad = new Function("wx.document.bgColor=\"#ff0000\";");
wx.document.bgColor="#ff0000";
}
function paintWin() {
wx.document.bgColor="#ff0000";
alert(wx.document.bgColor);
}
</script>
<body>
<form>
<input type=button value="Click Me to TestBug" onClick=newWin();>
<P>
Works on Netscape 4.x and IE but does not work in Netscape 7.0.
New Window should open with background color Red, but does not seem to be
happending in Netscape 7.0.</p>
<BR>
</form>
</body>
</html>
And here is the script of testPage :
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Here is the new window.
</BODY>
</HTML>

Browser, not engine ---> DOM Level 0
Confirming bug with Mozilla trunk binary 20021015xx on WinNT.
I saved both HTML files given above. When I clicked the test
button in the parent page, the child window came up, turned
briefly red, and then turned white.
In IE6, the child window comes up red and stays red.

The testcase sets the color at two places.
>wx.onLoad = new Function("wx.document.bgColor=\"#ff0000\";");
This will not work because of bug 134335. (The onload handler will never execute
I think.)
>wx.document.bgColor="#ff0000";
Looks like this works but gets overwritten at some stage as the markup actually
loads (thus the flash of red?)

Works fine if you spell "onload" correctly...
