3898 - [PP]Form will not submit - console is prompting answers to questions

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 3845

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Christine Hoffman]

Using 3/16 build on Win 95, Win NT, Win 98, Mac8.5 and Linux.

Open URL. No need to complete the form. Click 'Submit Order'.

Expected result: Form should be sent immediately.
Actual result: Form submission is delayed by the following prompted questions
appearing in the console:

1. Do you want to put the values on this form into your wallet?
2. For your convenience, the browser can remember your user names and passwords
so that you won't have to re-type them when you return to a site. Your passwords
will be obscured before being saved on your hard drive. Do you want this feature
enabled?

After these questions are answered, the form is submitted.

Win 95, Win 98, Win NT: Bug
Linux, Mac8.5: OK

This may be the expected behavior. Reassigning to Steve to verify.

I believe that this is indeed the expected behavior. This should be marked as
invalid - I'll leave that to Steve.

how could that be the expected behavior in an optiomized build? The user is not
going to have a command window open when they run Navigator, and what the heck
does the wallet have to do with submitting a form with an email address as the
submit value?

Yes, this is the expected behavior.  The use of the console window is necessary
because our product still doesn't have the infastructure in place to support
dialog windows.  So not only form submission, but any other time a dialog window
is supposed to pop up, the console window is being used instead.  Try setting
your cookie preference to warn-before-accepting-a-cookie and see where that
warning occurs.

But, due to an overwhelming outcry, I have temporarily put these messages under
control of a perference and that preference is off by default.  That
preference will not be present in the final release and the messages will once
again always appear.  See bug report 3845 and 3849 for details.

actually it isn't expected behavior as you stated in your note, the expected
behavior is a dialog box, not command line entries -- that was the point of my
comment. I did not know that the backend to the wallet was complete, which is a
total surprise. Since the wallet infrastructure is now presumed to be complete
and functional, then yes it does make sense to have a notification. However, if
wallet isn't complete, then this should not be turned on.

Aside from the issue of whether or not the behavior is correct, the behavior
is not consistent across platform. Is this a different problem?

Wallet and Single signon have not been turned on yet for mac or unix.  That
explains why the behavior is not consistent across platforms.
