(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Todd McGee]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0  

When the web page changes the banner ad using javascript:

> document.images['img1'].src = '[image URL]';

the status bar locks with "Transferring data from [website]..." and control is 
not returned to the script (no script executed after the above call affects the 
message displayed in the status bar), although no apparent error occurs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to "http://www.netcomponents.com" in Netscape Nav 7.0
2. Watch the status bar at the bottom of the window.
3.

Actual Results:  
As described

Expected Results:  
Returned control of the status bar to script after document.image assignment is 
completed.
