285728 - citibank.com - bad plugin detection results in infinite loop or failed call to vbscript

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[timeless]

to get the vbscript call you need to not have any plugins including the null
plugin (or just not have a plugin host). to get the infinite loop you need to
not have flash and have a certain amount of luck, i can't define that luck, neil
confirms the infinite loop.

at the very least, the code shouldn't try to call a vbscript function that isn't
defined when the browser doesn't support vbscript :). the infinite loop isn't a
very good thing either.

tested w/ mozilla1.8a5 and firefox1.0 on windowsxp.
