Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 275231

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dietmar 'dhgm' Meier]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2

When executed in a script block that's executed Window.onresize, some operations
on Window.location or window.history that should reload the document are
silently ignored (see below).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load http://www.innoline-systemtechnik.de/dhgm/onresize_ff1.html 
2. Select code to be executed onresize
3. Resize the browser window, watch the line indicating date and time
4. Go to step 2, selecting another code
Actual Results:  
Silently ignored when executed onresize are:
· window.location.reload()
· window.location.reload(true)
· window.history.go(0)
Executed as expected (the document reloads) are:
· window.location.href = window.location.href
· setTimeout("window.location.reload()",0)
· setTimeout("window.location.reload(true)",0)
· setTimeout("window.history.go(0)",0)


Expected Results:  
All given statements should result in reloading the document.

One user reported that in FF 0.8 all given statements do reload the document.

Didn't work since FF 1.0
