I found 2 buttons on the www that didn't work :). My brother uses hotmail and
when he wants do download a file from hotmail, you can press a downloadbutton.
It doesn't work, therfore he uses explorer... I haven't the text from that,
except if you want it, but there is an other button that also doesn't work. I've
mentioanned the url above. I've choosen "home, personal,..." and second "digital
camera(point-and-shoot)", but I think nothing will work. The "continue"-button
doesn't work.

The page is written in javascript. I'm not an expert in javascript, but when you
click document.f2 is submitted, but maybe it isn't the right one...There is also
somewhere a test on explorer, but better take a lokk yourself..

Reproducible: Always

Agree that the button on the Kodak site doesn't work.  Could you give the bug a
better description?

Also, seems to be similar to bug 183516

Confirming bug with Mozilla trunk binary 2003032308 on WinNT.
Reassigning to Form Submission and jkeiser. OS: Linux ---> All.
The Kodak site document.writes the submission form:

document.write('<TR><TD>&nbsp;</TD><TD><FORM NAME="f2" METHOD="POST"
ACTION="/cgi-bin/global/en/service/contact/feedback.cgi?conf=/global/include/en/service/contact/contact.conf"
onSubmit="return false;">');

which contains the "Continue" button:

document.write('<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Continue"              
                                   onClick="handleSubmit();">');


and the handleSubmit() function is defined as follows:

function handleSubmit()
{
  if (document.f1.m1.selectedIndex == 0)
    alert("Please make a selection in the first menu.");
  else
    if (document.f2.subject.selectedIndex == 0)
      alert("Please make a selection in the second menu.");
    else
      document.f2.submit();
}


I checked in the JavaScript Debugger that Mozilla does reach
the line |document.f2.submit();|, but nothing happens when the
line is executed. No errors appear in the JavaScript Console -

this regressed between linux trunk builds 2002051321 and 2002051507, indicating
the culprit is bug 144534
