192595 - remember it name fields grayed out after back button used while remember it box is checked

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, defect)

Description

[Jason Pyeron]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: ie 5.50.4807.2300

use query page to execute a query [which fails, causing you to use the back 
button], naming it. use the back button to go to the page. the "and remember 
it" box will be checked and the "with this name:" field will have the value you 
last entered, but will be grayed out.

upon submition this time the system does not attempt to save the search. (did 
it not get the values from the browser?)


unchecking the rememberit box then checking avoids the issue.

(x) Run this search    
 [x] and remember it  (x) with this name: [foobar_________]
                          [x] and put it in my page footer
                      ( ) as my default options for this page 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




Justification for major: it causes 3x load on servers because of user confusion 
in situation, and is non-obvoius.

One may assume a complicated query was saved, to find out a week later it was 
not ( aside from the duediligence double check a query creation time )

One should be able to assume that if boxes contain the values intended, grayed 
out is irrelevant.

Sorry miscatagorized it under Query when it is a UI issue.

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

sounds like one of those magic javascript thingies failing to work (or working
when it's not supposed to)

Comment 3

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

The browser isn't remembering the DOM state  on back/forward, but it is
remembering the form state.

So we get the checkbox checked, but stuff still disabled. I think. Does IE not
send data for disabled form controls, or something?

yes, that appears to be the case.

looking at the html source, they do attempt to call a function after html 
render to ensure the dis/enabled states are syncronized with the form value. 
why this does not work is not obvoius.

this is no longer the case, the search page has changed. 2.17.6 and tip
