186077 - upn.com - Score counting doesn't work in the pop-up window, probably because of javascript

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Teemu]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20021217

I went to the site mentioned above and decided to try the quiz. The new pop-up
window opens up without problems, but when I pick an answer and hit Submit, it
doesn't tell me whether it was correct or not, nor does it keep track of my
score. This bug is in both Mozilla and Phoenix, but not for example in MSIE 6.0

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the site
2. Click on the "Take the quiz now", which opens this:
javascript:openWin('/shows/buffy/trivia/3/trivia_frame.shtml',411,380,'trivia','no')
3. Pick any of the three alternatived and click Submit

Actual Results:  
This produces an 'undefined' answer on the next page.

Expected Results:  
It should have reported whether the answer was correct or not, and moved on to
following questions. For example with Internet Explorer that works fine.

I do not see how my computer's configuration or anything like that has anything
to do with this bug. It's most likely due to some small glitch in some
JavaScript handler.

form submission, perhaps?

Are there any errors in the JS console?

Error: parent.trivia_bottom.testform has no properties
Source File: http://www.upn.com/shows/buffy/trivia/3/question2.shtml?q1=1&x=21&y=10
Line: 33

There is no such thing as testform in the trivia_bottom frame.

Teemu we will try to look at this when time permits but the best course of
action is to contact them and complain that their site does not work in your
favorite browser.
