Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

This has been a bud in Firefox as well as Mozilla. When I am on web sites that
use javascript to open windows asking for passwords, cancelling actions, etc.
neither the cancel or OK buttons will work. I will either have to quit or force
quit the browser and restart to correct the problem. The problem is intermittant
but will happen 100% of the time if I am on a site that has many submission windows.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.sassieshop.com/2mysteryshoppers/shoppers/LoginShopper.norm.php
2. Click either cancel or OK.
3. Window will sometimes not respond.

Actual Results:  
If I am on the site for at least 15 minutes filling out forms to be submitted,
it will happen 100% of the time. If I only have to go through a few javascript
generated windows, then I will only happen about 20% of the time.

Expected Results:  
The javascript window that comes down from the top of the main browser window
should allow me to cancel or approve by clicking the buttons.

This is probably a dup of some older bug. Ken, it's a focus problem. The
workaround is to click on the button, hold the mouse button down, and move the
pointer around slightly. You'll see the button activate, and you can then
release the button.

Sassieshop does not have Cancel and OK buttons, just a big GO image. WFM.

The "Go" image is there when you log in. Once you are inside, there are many
javascript windows that will come up. You may have to register for the site in
order to access the javascript windows.

I'm guessing you mean a confirm dialog/sheet.
<a href="javascript:confirm('blah blah blah')">like this?</a>

Corrected procedure:
1: go to Sassieshop and log in.
2: wander around the site and hit a "javascript window".
3: try to click OK or Cancel.
4: repeat steps 2 & 3 until 3 fails.

Ken: can you attach an html page that exhibits this problem?
