304082 - Applet tag does not honor codebase parameter for archive

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jay Rossiter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

The applet tag offers the 'codebase' parameter which is used to locate the code
for the applet, especially if there are more than one archive files.

Firefox is not currently using the codebase param when retrieving the archive files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View the linked URL

The applet on the top half of the page has the full file path specified in the
archive= parameter.  The applet on the bottom of the page relies on the codebase
parameter to insert the correct path.  Both applets function correctly in IE 6.
Actual Results:  
The top applet functions, and the bottom applet does not.

Expected Results:  
Both applets should function.  The codebase param should be prepended to each
item in the CSV list of the archive param prior to retrieval.

(The above example only uses one archive file, however the param is defined to
accept a a CSV list)

What the hell.  I tested for an hour and it wouldn't work.

You say it works for you, I reload FF in Safe Mode, and it starts working in
safe and normal mode.

I give up.
