User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

Form generated in child window using DHTML is submitted twice, once with all
fields empty, and a second time with all fields containing their proper values.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the following HTML in Firefox, after changing the ACTION attribute to an
appropriate URL (any old CGI or other script you have handy):
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function openLookup(){
myWin = window.open("", "child", "width=400,height=200");
myWin.focus();
myWin.document.writeln('<html><body');
myWin.document.writeln('<form name="proxyForm" action="lookupForm.do"
method="post">');
myWin.document.writeln('<input type="hidden" name="command" value="INIT">');
myWin.document.writeln('</form></body></html>');
myWin.document.proxyForm.submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:openLookup()"> TEST </a>
</body>
</html>
2. Click on the single link.
Actual Results:
Child window opens and displays output from whatever CGI you configured in. The
script on the back end actually gets run twice each time you click the link (use
a debugger, or logging to confirm this), and the hidden parameter named
"command" is passed only on the first form submission.
Expected Results:
The dynamically generated form should be submitted only once.

Are you sure that this is not some server side issue?

I'm quite sure this is not a server side issue. The behavior does not occur with
other browsers (tried MSIE 6.0, Opera 7.11, Netsape 7.1, all running on WinXP),
and I confirmed it on the back end with both a java servlet (my actual
development project - Weblogic 8.1 on Solaris) and a perl CGI (a simple CGI I
wrote to confirm the problem, running Perl 5.6 on Solaris).

I have also just confirmed that this bug does not manifest itself using Mozilla
1.7.2 on WinXP as a browser.

This bug is old and unconfirmed and therefore very rarely is useful to
developpers. Please reopen it if you can reproduce with a recent build and can
provide more information.
