Description

[Desmond Armstrong]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a1) Gecko/20040520

On the above website select 'Price Check' then on the next page the button
'check price' fails to do anything.
The same browse using Konqueror DOES work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to www.speedferries.com
2.Select 'Price Check'
3.On this next page select 'check price'

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens, the hyperlink does not work, I have been reporting to
speedferries.com but now have found that if I use Konqueror the 'check price
button' does work.

Expected Results:  
I think that there may be a problem with relative v. absolute addressing on this
website, but, it does work if I use Konqueror on my linux box.

Although I still think that speedferries have been careless with the definitions
of their hyperlinks, the fact that Konqueror works is disturbing.
Are we somehow losing the temporary hyperlinks in Mozilla?

As I am using and promoting Mozilla I am concerned that there may be a flaw
which causes people to use the IE which is full of security flaws instead so it
is important to fix this quickly.

Confirming with Mozilla 1.7, I get some javascript errors on clicking the 'check
price' button:

Error: document.getElementById(asThis) has no properties
Source File:

Line: 4

Error: document.getElementById("PaxCode" + each.substring(7, 10)) has no properties

I'm reassigning the bug to the evangelism component.
