44450 - Links do not work

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[Jerry Baker]

If you visit the page above, and try to click on any of links in the little 
table towards the top on the right-hand side, nothing happens. The "hand" 
appears and the URL appears in the status bar, but clicking the link does 
nothing.

The only out of the ordinary thing I could see was some onouseover JS associated 
with these links. Is JS intercepting click notifications?

[Jerry Baker]

I always do that...sorry: build 200063021.

Wow. That was Edit -> Copy right out of Mozilla's URL bar. I didn't bother 
checking if it was truncated. I can't duplicate it though.

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

Can you duplicate this bug, though? I have NT and the links work fine for me.

Comment 5

[Jerry Baker]

Yes I can duplicate it with today's bits. Those links still do not work.

Works on MacOS, but totally hung Mozilla on Win2K. Most impressive! However, the 
second try on Win2K worked just fine. 

Might need to run the browser a bit before seeing this.

These work fine for me in current builds on linux / mac / win2k. I cannot 
get a hang to occur at all, and clicking on the links takes me to the URL.

There is a wee bug, however. The JS in the page is failing to work properly
with a 'with' clause and the document.images array (this code is used to do
the image rollovers). The code is equivalent to :

  with (document.images[0]) { 
    alert('refer to .src in a with clause : ' + src);
  }

and that throws a JS error: 'src is not defined'.

Shall I open a new bug on that point, or leave that as part of this bug.

Go ahead, if you have time. Then we can future 'em separately.
->future, nsbeta3-. Or should this be wfm?

Comment 11

[John Morrison]

(I filed bug 49112 for the JS error earlier today and forgot to come back to 
this bug. )

So the other problem, most likely unrelated is now bug 49112. So, if no one
has any objections, I'd say that this one is worksforme.
