44972 - <A href=url target=window1 onClick=open_window1> doesn't run

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P1)

Description

[cbaegert]

I try to open a pop-up window with Javascript, started by the onClick event on a
HTML link, and then to load an url into this window with the href & target. This
allows the link to be marked as visited (if I load the url with the window.open
function, it won't).

this function was running well with M15 !!! it's running as well with NS 4.73
and IE5

with M16, the window is opened, but the url isn't loaded into it.

Confirming bug. Reproduced on PC/Linux, build 2000070721.
M15 works fine, but M16 an the M17 nightly don't load anything into the new
window. Don't know about the right component. Here's the shell output:

Browser, not Engine. Reassigning to Browser-General. Adding crash keyword. 
On WinNT, I CRASH when I click on this link in the page: 
"test     Christophe, le 6/7/2000"

First, I get an nsDebug:Assertion messagebox saying:
 
ASSSERTION: You can't dereference a NULL nsCOMPtr with operator->().:
'mRawPtr !=0', file ..\..\..\..\dist\include\nsCOMPtr.h, line 649


Then I crash with the following stack trace:

More info: I do not crash on Linux on any of the links in the given Web page.
I am only crashing on WinNT. On Linux, I simply get the bug as originally 
described: pop-up windows that come up empty...

Using: Linux, WinNT debug builds pulled 2000-07-06

dom 0 issue i beleive

Comment 5

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

There seems to be a problem with loading the URL after the onclick handler is
called, reassigning to joki for futher investigation.

Comment 6

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

Crash is bad, nominated for nsbeta3. Reassigning to myself to get some 
attention.

Comment 7

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

We don't seem to be crashing anymore, removing crash keyword. Also, because 
crash is the reason for nominating nsbeta3, minusing.

There seems to be something wrong with the site/page in the URL. It doesn't seem 
to work well in any browser I have tried, and I get JS errors in console on 
Mozilla (like missing semicolon etc.)

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way 
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Comment 8

[cbaegert]

I've corrected the cause of the error message "missing semicolon" and it doesn't
change anything.

This possibility (A href=... onclick=create_window1 target=window1) run well
with IE 4.0, 5.0, Netscape 4.73 and Mozilla M15

It's the only way to see the color of the link change even if the window is
create in javascript, which is a really useful function, by example on the
example page, it allows the visitor to see which message he has already read on
the forum.

Since this function is 1.commonly running and 2.useful, I think it's important
to fix it (and it was running with M15, so it may not be a pain to fix it.)
But I'm not good developer enough to fix it by myself...

Comment 9

[Conor Lennon]

This seems to be working now (tested in build 2000101020 on WinNT)

Comment 10

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

Worksforme on NT & Linux.
