(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Hebrew, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040812 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040812 Firefox/0.9.1+

there are a couple of buttons you click on in this web page but they don't work
in Mozilla. One of the buttons that don't work is right underneath the 3 fields
of identification you should put in. You don't need to, though, to see that it
won't respond.
the site is in hebrew but that shouldn't change anything.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter site
2.click some buttons bellow the identification fields.
3.(the button should respond even if you leave every field empty)

Actual Results:  
the button should have responded and you should be taken to another page.

Expected Results:  
the button press is ignored.

This problem happens in a lot of web pages so it's rather important it'll get fixed.

This was fixed by fixing bug 256932.

Reprter (or someone else) - can you confirm with 20040826 or later and mark as
FIXED?

well, the button responds, but with an error message. I have an account at
bgu.ac.il and I tried 5 times to be on the safe side, that I don't have the
password wrong. Anyway, it's not the same error message that you get when you
get the details wrong.
the button that is down and to the right is a "forgot my password" button and it
gives the same error message.
you can leave all the fiels empty and click the ok button with Mozilla and with
another browser and see that the error messages are different.

Here's the code that causes the error:

  document.frames('errWinID').setParent(document.all.errWinID);

That line should be:

  document.frames['errWinID'].setParent(document.all.errWinID);

because frames is an array, not a function. The page works in IE and probably
Opera, but Mozilla does not support this IE-ism. This is a Tech Evangelism bug
because the problem is with the web page.

Is the content of the error a blue iframe that says "שגיאה" (Error)?

By the way, have you managed to get in contact with the person responsible for
the site and ask to add support to browsers other thab IE?

yes, but if everything works but you get your details wrong or don't put any
details in, the error message is a little bit more elaborate.

no, they don't seem to care about anything but IE support. They NEVER (I mean
ever!) replied an email of mine (including one I sent 3 days ago).

The button seems to work now, and no error is listed in the Error Console. Please re-open if there is still a problem.
