Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

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

The javascript on this slideshow application traps the user completely.  Trying
a new url and pressing enter simply moves to next slide.  Clicking a bookmark
buttom also does not cause the tab to leave the site. Using the built in search
field also does not work, the enter simply moves to next slide rather than
searching.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://s5presents.com/show/252
2. Try using google search box, URL box, or bookmark buttom.

Actual Results:  
You usually just go to the next slide and can't escape the page.

Expected Results:  
Leave the page.  Do the action indended.

Although this application is not malicious it seems reasonable that this would
be an excellent mechanism to trap users.

WFM. I get advanced to the nest slide on pressing enter, but my requested
content then loads fine.
