286872 - Pressing "enter" to close a message window also sends "enter" keystroke to webpage behind it.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Steven Stern]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

Type in a User ID on the webpage and hit "Enter".  A window pops up explaining
that you didn't type in a password.  The "OK" button of that window is selected,
and so hitting "Enter" again should close it.  That single keystroke both closes
the window, and tries to log into the webpage again, causing the same error
window to appear again.

Clicking "OK" with the mouse brings you back to the webpage, as expected. 
Trying the exact same sequence of events in IE works as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to https://secure.netbank.com/login.htm
2. Type any User ID
3. Hit "Enter"
4. Message box should appear.  Hit "Enter" again.

Actual Results:  
Message box explaining a lack of a password should appear.  Message box closes
and then reappears repeatedly with each press of the "Enter" key, since Firefox
handles it as 2 successive keystrokes.

Expected Results:  
"Enter" key should close message box, not open a new one, and allow you to type
in your password and try again.

This appears to be a bug in the webpage rather than Firefox.  NetBank checks
onkeyup whether you just hit the Enter key by calling SubmitOnEnter().  When you
press the Enter key to clear the dialog, the dialog goes away, and when you
release it the webpage sees a keyup event.

Recommendations:
NetBank should change their JavaScript to onkeypress rather than onkeyup.
This bug is likely INVALID since it's not a Firefox bug.

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

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.
