307072 - Javascript redirection produces incorrect View Source output

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 247660

(Toolkit :: View Source, defect)

Description

[Peter Ebden]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050724 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050724 Firefox/1.0.6

If the user clicks upon a link to www.foo.com but is redirected to www.bar.com
(via the onUnload event) then Firefox will display the source to www.foo.com
instead of the page at www.bar.com that they are actually viewing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.managementconcepts-ap.com/tmp/tmp.html
2. Click on the link
3. View > Page Source

Actual Results:  
The source to www.google.com is displayed

Expected Results:  
The source to tmp.html should have been displayed

I've created a temporary page to illustrate the problem; in this case the
browser will be unable to leave when clicking on the link. Trying to view the
source after clicking the link will show the source to www.google.com.

This page is rather irritating as it's quite hard to leave it - but that's not
actually a bug per se :-)
