1. Load the page below
2. Enter text in the field
3. Refresh the page -- text remains (as it should)
4. Click the link "Create a form by DOM operations" -- creates a new form (all names/id's are unique)
5. Refresh again -- the text entered previously is gone
HTML file to repro follows
<html>
<head>
<title>FireFox looses form contents on dynamic form creation</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script type="text/javascript">
function createForm()
{
elemCreateFormHere = document.getElementById("createFormHere");
elemCreateFormHere.innerHTML = "\
<form action='/' method='post' name='t-search-added' style='background-color: #ccc; padding: 5px'> \n\
Simple form inserted by DOM operations. <br/>\n\
<input type='text' name='textfield2'> \n\
</form> \n\
";
}
function createParagraph()
{
elemCreateFormHere = document.getElementById("createFormHere");
elemCreateFormHere.innerHTML = "\
<p>In contrast, this is just a paragraph -- Creating it doesn't cause the form to be cleared on refresh.</p> \n\
";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h3>FireFox looses form history on dynamic form creation</h3>
<p>Steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Load this page in FireFox. </li>
<li>Enter some text in the "Simple Form" below.</li>
<li>Refresh the page; notice that the text you just entered remains. </li>
<li>Click on this link:
<a href="#" onClick="javascript:createForm();return false;">Create a form by DOM operations</a>. As you might expect, this will create a trivial form. It inserts it in the grey area below.</li>
<li> Refresh the page; notice that the text you previously entered has been erased.</li>
</ol>
<p>That's a bug, right?</p>
<p>In contrast, <a href="#" onClick="javascript:createParagraph();return false;">this link</a>
creates a simple paragraph.
The form contents remain after a page reload.
</p>
<blockquote id="createFormHere">
<span style='background-color:#ccc'>
(Clicking on the link in Step 4 above will insert a form here.)
</span>
</blockquote>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="/nowhere.cgi" style="background-color: #ccc; padding: 5px">
Simple form<br/>
<input type="text" name="textfield"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
See details
Actual Results:
Form fields cleared by page refresh
Expected Results:
Any structural changes in the page should be lost, returning the page to its initial state. Forms & form fields which were not altered by DOM operations should retain their contents.
Default theme ... reproduced by a couple of other developers here at Amazon, and on Linux 1.5.0.8 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061025 Firefox/1.5.0.8), so it's unlikely to be a machine configuration issue.

Yeah. The issue is that the index of the form, not the name/id, is used for restoration.
