265470 - reloading a page with POSTed form data will result in incorrectly "checked" radio buttons

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46845

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I have an exam engine written in PERL which creates randomized exams where the
answers are selected via radio buttons. On the initial load, the page renders as
expected. If I reload the page, some of the radio buttons are not "checked"
correctly after resending the POSTed data. Viewing the page source, however,
confirms that the item that should be "checked" is not. I.e., the HTML shows the
correct information, but the page is rendered incorrectly. On the incorrectly
selected items it appears to check the position of the previously selected
answer prior to reload. If I save the output of the CGI as an HTML file and load
it directly into Firefox, it renders as expected. Neither Internet Explorer nor
Konquerer exhibit this behavior. I have not tested if the GET method also
performs this way.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

3.




I may be able to provide access to a sample exam, but a signed non-disclosure
agreement would be necessary.
