Description

[Grant]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040906	

Using our implementation of the Openmap Applet, If the number of parameters 
gets too big the Browser seems to stop processing the applet parameters. The 
applet is not displayed. in fact JAVA is not launched at all.

This problem occurs in Mozilla 1.7 and above (including latest) and FireFox but 
not in Mozilla 1.6 and below nor IE.
It is the same on a Windows XPsp2 PC and Windows 2000sp4 laptop
It is the same with JAva JRE 1.4.2_03 or JRE 1.3.2_13 (And I think I tried 1.5 
RC too


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://users.tpg.com.au/oldchina/openmap/index.html
2.Compare the page that works with the one that doesn't

Actual Results:  
158_OK.html will load the applet and plot some points (there's a 2.8MB JAR file 
that will be uploaded the first time)

159_Fails.html will not load the Applet , nor JAVA at all. The page remains 
yellow, with no grey container for the applet

Expected Results:  
159_Fails.html should be the same as 158_OK.html but with ONE extra point 
plotted

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
