1958 - Image inputs do not submit x and y coordinates to server

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P2)

Description

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

The page is in Finnish, but you can test this anyway. It is a term bank of words
that you can search.

1. You write your search word in

"Hae kirjainjonolla:"

for example "radio" (without the quotes).

2. click the "hae" button
* an error is returned from the server stating that no search
  field was selected although there is a default value for such a field
  The error: "Virhe hakulomakkeessa"

Conclusion: It seems that NGLayout does not deliver all info from the FORM
to the server (especially from the INPUT element?). This is based on the
fact that this works with Netscape (NS gets back 15 hits).

The other options you can select on the page:

a) select the database ("KAIKKI" == All)
b) give conditions to search, i.e. the word must be a primary term ("päätermi"),
  synonym, foreign synonyms etc.

Thanks to [e-mail] for finding this bug.

A possibly similar problem occurs at www.outpost.com --- if you do a product
search (i.e. for "Softwindows 95") using the 12.30.98 build, the server returns a
"Form submit missing" error, rather than doing the search.

This was as two parter:

http://terminology.uwasa.fi/ntrf/

This site was suffering because the checkbox was submitting a null value instead
of "on" (the value was not specified.

This was due to a type on nsCheckboxControlFrame::GetNamesValuse.  I've checked
in the fix.

http://www.outpost.com

This suffers from the above limitation, and that when the image input is clicked
on, no x or y values are submitted to the server.  I'm working on this fix.

Changing the Summary to represent this problem.

Another typo in SetInitialChildList was causing the foo.x and foo.y values to be
submitted twice

Bot bugs have been fixed.

Also fixed that coordinates being submitted were always 0x0. (Just a note)

The checkbox fix was also backed out by Rod's recent checkin.  I checked in the
(one character) fix again!
