Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tabvla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

1. Assume a website with 2 pages called pageone.htm and pagetwo.htm
2. Assume the site uses JavaScript
3. Assume JavaScript has been disabled in Firefox
4. pageone.htm has the following meta tag
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="3; url=http://sitename.dom/pagetwo.htm"/>
5. pagetwo.htm has the following noscript tag
	<noscript>
	This site requires Scripting to be turned ON
	Please click <a href="jsenable.htm">here</a> to resolve this issue.
  	</noscript>


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Test as follows:
1. Go to pagetwo.htm directly.  (See Actual Results)
2. Go to pageone.htm. Wait 2 seconds. (See Actual Results)
Actual Results:  
Results as per steps above
1. noscript tag renders correctly
2. pagetwo.htm opens but noscript tag does not render.

Expected Results:  
1. Pass.  Result as expected
2. Fail.  pagetwo.htm should open and contents of noscript tag should render


Above sequence works as expected in IE 6.x and Opera 8.x

Any existing website that uses a "Refresh" followed by a noscript will not render the contents of the noscript tag

Your testcase seems fine to me, Toby. This works for me in a Firefox 2.0.0.3 build as well as on current trunk.
