308652 - onload-Event does not fire, when page loading has finished

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Alexander Knöller]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6

The page is intended to wait with its location.reload() until the Landmarkpixel
from ETRACKER is loaded.
The JavaScript-Version of the Landmark is written with document.write, so may be
here is a Problem why the onload-Event does not know when it has to be triggered?

On the internal Test-Systems the error strangely never occurs. So may be it is a
runtime concurrency problem.

With IE this error does not occur at all

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Just load the URL
Actual Results:  
The location.reload never is executed and no JavaScript-Error occurs. So I guess
the onload-event does not fire at all.


Expected Results:  
always fire the onload event, when the page loading has finished

Mine test is simple. I have a form that loads, and I want to get the value of an element on a form. The end result will be more complicated than that, but the simple retrieve of a form: alert(document.getElementById('searchform')); returns null. I am guessing that onload fires before the page has finished loading. I ran the page in Firebug and I get the same (searchform is null). When I look at the form is the FireFox error console, I can see the form just fine.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
