User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021118 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021118 This page would reload itself - the spinning wheel in the tab heading, the scroll bar stopped responding, the page eventually went blank (we have a DUN connection at work). So I couldn't really erad the article without waiting. IE doesn't do this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Bring up http://www7b.software.ibm.com/dmdd/library/techarticle/0211swart/0211swart2.html?t=gr,lnxw07=Win2Linux 2. Wait till it finishes loading. 3. Resize Actual Results: The page started to reload Expected Results: Should have just reized the page.
The document contains ... <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function nsResize() { if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) { if ( (parseFloat(navigator.appVersion) < 4.05) || (parseFloat(navigator.appVersion) > 4.08) ) location.reload(true); } } </SCRIPT> and then later... <body onresize=nsResize() ... So, for the wrong reasons, IBM is intentionally doing that. There is no need for that code in a mozilla1.x browser (but it used to be needed in Nav4.x browsers for some pages). -> Tech Evang
