After using the innerHTML property of the calling document's body element the
window.open method fails on subsequent attempts, with no errors or warnings
being thrown.
A test case is given below to show that this behavior only occurs when inserting
content to the document.body via the innerHTML property.
---------------------------------
parent window HTML
------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>popupTest.html</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var test= null;
function insertContent() {
if (test == 'DOM') {
var newDiv= document.createElement('div');
var text= document.createTextNode('New Div!');
newDiv.appendChild(text);
document.body.appendChild(newDiv);
}
else if (test == 'mixed') {
var newDiv= document.createElement('div');
newDiv.innerHTML= 'New Div!';
document.body.appendChild(newDiv);
}
else {
var newHTML= '<div>New Div!</div>';
document.body.innerHTML+= newHTML;
}
}
/*
* Test inner HTML insertion
*/
function innerTest() {
test= 'innerHTML';
window.open('popup.html', 'popuptest',
'resizable,height=380,width=520,dependent');
alert('the popup window opened!');
}
/**
* mixed DOM and innerHTML test
*/
function mixedTest() {
test= 'mixed';
window.open('popup.html', 'popuptest',
'resizable,height=380,width=520,dependent');
alert('the popup window opened!');
}
/**
* Test DOM insertion
*/
function DOMTest() {
test= 'DOM';
window.open('popup.html', 'popuptest',
'resizable,height=380,width=520,dependent');
alert('the popup window opened!');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onCLick="DOMTest()">DOM Insertion test</button>
<button onCLick="mixedTest()">mixed Insertion test</button>
<button onCLick="innerTest()">innerHTML Insertion test</button>
</body>
</html>
--------------------------------------
Child window HTML
-----------------
<html>
<head>
<title>popup.html</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function callback() {
self.opener.insertContent();
self.opener.focus();
self.close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onCLick="callback()">Make Callback</button>
</body>
</html>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on "DOM insertion Test" - a new window should open
2. Click on "Make Callback" - a new Div element is inserted into the opening
document using pure DOM methods.
3. Click on "mixed insertion Test - a new window should open
4. Click on "Make Callback" - a new Div element is inserted into the opening
document using DOM appendChild method but setting the Div content with innerHTML.
5. Click on "innerHTML insertion Test - a new window should open
6. Click on "Make Callback" - a new Div element is inserted into the opening
document using the innerHTML property of the document body.
7. Click on any of the buttons - the new window will not appear.
Actual Results:
Calls to window.open will fail with no notification to the user. The browser
window must be refreshed for window.open to work properly.
Expected Results:
Calling window.open should open a new window.
This bug also appeared in moz 1.1 . I upgraded to moz 1.3b and the problem is
still present
This may be a dup of bug 169429 (Missed it when I was doing a bugzilla search,
sorry about that)

I can reproduce the problem in Firebird 0.7, Mozilla 1.5, Netscape 7.1
I think this bug is blocker since I couldn't find a workaround.

Both test files could be improved to eliminate potential sources of error.
Only the innerHTML insertion (innerTest() function; when test=="innerHTML") is
causing the bug. The other 2 (DOM insertion and mixed insertion) work
flawlessly. So the attached testcases can be reduced here and furthermore help
pinpoint the problem. I think this bug is a DUPLICATE of bug 169429
Mozilla 1.6 final build 20040113 under XP Pro SP1 here.
