42944 - can't open window for new message in Microsoft Outlook Web Access

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect, P3)

Description

[Jonathan Baron]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.73 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.12-20 i686)
BuildID:    2000061311

In a web mail system, clicking on any link to open a message window
yields no response, and no JavaScript error message.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in
2. Click on any link to send a message
3.

Actual Results:  nothing

Expected Results:  message window

1. Microsoft Outlook Web Access simulates a "mailto:" with
JavaScript.  Real "mailto" in web pages works fine.

2. Unfortunately, this will be very hard for you to reproduce
because you need to log in to an account that has this very
rare system.  West Chester University is one:
http://webmail.wcupa.edu is the place where you log in.

In my case I can login fine.  But then I can't do anything.  None of the links
work because they are all javascript except for the logout button. Using m15
this works fine so something has regressed.  Also, if needed I can post the
source code to the page since you need a login to test this.

Yes, it would be very helpful if someone could provide an attachment to this bug
which produces the problem. (The more reduced the example, the better!)

I can't log in to the given site, so it will be necessary to have an attachment 
in order to diagnose this bug - thanks.

I just tried this with the latest build, 2000062908, and it does
indeed seem to be fixed.  Great!  Jon Baron

Marking this bug worksforme with 200070420 win32.  The web interface is now
mostly usable again.  There are still a few minor issues, but they are not
covered by this bug.  I think they could be a result of the strict DTD handling.
 The main thing is that javascript urls in the page are working now.  I'll file
another bug when I can determine the exact cause and pertinent html code later.
