1. navigate to www.sj.se
2. main ticket booking form is broken in ff3 (worked in ff2)

Look at the attached screenshots taken with ff 2.0.0.12 and ff3 trunk feb12. In the ff2 screenshot you can see textboxes corresponding to the "Från" ("From") and "Till" ("To") textboxes and there is also a calendar. With FF3 the calendar part and the textboxes are gone, making it impossible to book train tickets).

SJ is the national train company in Sweden (former state monopoly, more or less the only train company there is). This is an very important site for many young swedes.

Regression range:

At a guess, the site is doing the whole "move nodes between documents" thing and running into bug 47903.

Consider for ff3 because 1) it's one of the most important swedish sites, and 2) it worked in ff2.

Website does not validate:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A//www.sj.se/purchase/booksearchlocation.form%3Fl%3Dsv

However, it looks like the problem is caused by some Javascript operation, no?

Confirming this using firefox 3 beta 3 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020513 Firefox/3.0b3) both in Linux and Windows XP. Not sure how to change the status of this bug though, somebody that knows bugzilla should probably do that.

--> Core::General

See comment 4 for a regression range and a suspect.

Comment 9

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

Blocking for web-compat breakage; note that there's a debate (see bug 47903) about backing out the change that caused this.

Comment 10

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

We reverted that change, so this site should work now. Someone want to confirm?

Comment 11

[martin]

The revert seems to have fixed the problem. I can see both textboxes and calendars using Minefield 2008022604 on Ubuntu. Setting resolution fixed.
