242913 - page isn't fully shown when using javascript redirection with anchor

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 233963

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

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

Using javascript to relocate the page to an anchor in a div in the page :
- after the js relocation, the html code after the script doens't look to be
considered
- the others js scripts if the pages aren't launched (in my example, a page
auto-refresh script)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a div on a html page, with overflow auto or scroll, with enough
content so scrollbars appears.
2. put an anchor at the end of the div (call 'end')
3. insert the js script "document.location.href="#end";"
4. enter some content after the script
5. put some other js script to be launch at page load


Actual Results:  
The content after the relocation script is ignored by browser
The other script isn't launched

Expected Results:  
The content of the page should be fully shown
The others scripts should be launched

You can workaround the first problem by putting the reloaction script th the end
of the page, the whole page is then shown. But the second problem stays...

Setting .location stops the pageload.  Maybe we shouldn't be doing that at least
for href sets?

Not a JS engine issue -- location is a DOM object, not a core JS one.
