22838 - using document.write to embed a <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="*.js"> tag doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

[Don Shin]

When you use an HTML doc to embed a .js file which in turn uses document.write to
write an HTML tag that also embeds a .js file (like SRC Including a SRC Include),
the page disappears and only the HTML for the latter .js file remains. While this
code works for Internet Explorer 3 and higher and Netscape Nav 3 and higher for
both MacOS (7 and up), Wintel (95/98), and Solaris, M12 doesn't display properly
(at least on Mac). The given URL is an isolated code example derived from http://
www.kpic.org/home.html

Err, sorry about that -- the first given attachment was meant for a different
bug.

I'm not able to reproduce this with today's build. Chris, can you please test
this problem with tomorrow's build (1/4/2000) to verify?

I see the behaviour below with 2000010416 win95 (although I'm not sure if this
is Parser as opposed to DOM|Webshell -- the innermost document.write appears
to have a handle on a different document than prior calls).

 --                                          --
Nav 4.6 win95 output (>) is:                2000010416 win95 output (>) is:

    > outermost message start                    > outermost message start
    > start middle level                         > start middle level
    > innermost message                          > end middle level
    > end middle level                           > outermost message finish
    > outermost message finish
                                              then the screen blanks and ...

                                                 > innermost message

With the Jan 26th build (2000012612), this problem is not occuring. The document 
is rendered the same way as Nav 4.6.
