289325 - hang if document.write in head of pop-up window references external style sheet

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Mitch Claborn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: 

A page is generated via javascript document.write statements. If the generated
page has a document.write in the HEAD section that references an external style
sheet
   <LINK REL='STYLESHEET' TYPE='text/css' HREF='a.css'>
then the page never finishs loading, the throbber continues to spin.

If the HTML from generated page is loaded directly from a server or a local file
instead, the page works correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Reference attachment to come.
1. Unzip a.html and a.css into a directory.
2. Load a.html into the browser.
3. Click the link.  
4. Click OK to the confirm.  This is what the page should look like.
5. Close the pop-up window.
6. Click the link again.
7. Click CANCEL to the confirm. This demonstrates the problem.

Actual Results:  
The page never finishes loading.  The throbber continues to spin.  If you click
the stop button then view the source, the LINK statement shows up at the very
end of the source, instead of in the HEAD section.

Expected Results:  
The page should load completely then the throbber should stop.

Seems similar to 204497.

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

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.
