206695 - [FIX]Back does not refill forms for application/xhtml+xml pages

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect, P1)

Description

[Berend de Boer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

See for example bug #138499. Exactly the same thing.

For pages served as application/xhtml+xml the form data is not restored when you
go back, but you get the initial values.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just load my form.xhtml and form.html. This already shows the behaviour.
Actual Results:  
If you remove the data in the text area, press Save and go back, your data is
there again.

Expected Results:  
Behave like the text/html mode. That one works fine.

Comment 2

Attachment: Exactly the same as form.xhtml, but mozilla will serve this is test/html

Comment 3

[Berend de Boer]

Attachment: the form you get posted to, just to make the example work smoothly

I forgot to mention that this bug was already present in Mozilla 1.3.0. I
upgraded to 1.4 to see if it was still there, and it is.

confirmed with linux trunk 20030522

==> session history (or form controls?)

Form where you can edit data

simpler steps to reproduce:
1. modify the textarea
2. reload (not shift-reload)

I could've sworn I've seen this bug in the system before, but I just can't find it.

[Berend de Boer]

Mr Keiser, you mean #138499? Search for application/xhtml+xml.

I just lost data because of this bug while trying to post a comment at
http://simon.incutio.com/.

If everyone that had lost data because of this bug had posted a comment and
added a vote, this bug would be number 1 in "BugZilla's Spamming Top 10".

Just added my vote ;)

My personnal weblog is in application/xhtml+xml and sometimes I lose data
because of this bug (I submit the form, an error occurs, and I want to go back).
For now I have to open Notepad and copy/paste my content into notepad before
submitting in order be sure I won't lose anything.
