50129 - javascript hangs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 48382

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Bert Andries]

Main part of web page is not displayed ... M17 hangs.
Tried netscape browser: same blank page effect when switching of javascript.
Thus *guessing* problem must be javascript bound.

Confirmed problem on Linux 2000082321, but not sure if this is Javascript.

The URL given above renders disabled JS/Java partly ok:
the http://www.airbus.com/nav.html is loaded without any problems
the http://www.airbus.com/home.html is rendered blank
the http://www.airbus.com/home4p.asp renders without any problems

index.html + nav.html + home4p.asp would create the correct result.

Somehow the script intensive home.html must load home[4p|5p|a3xx].asp; these
pages are the same except for the randomly choosen background.

Suggest to add http:// to the URL and to mark as critical since mozilla crashes.

Something here is odd: I tried to load http://www.airbus.com/home.html and was
directed to homep1.asp (javascript enabled). (2000-08-23-21/Linux)
Now I tried www.airbus.com which only loades home.html in a frame and -- mozilla
crashed (actually it freezed).
I tried it twice it is reproducable and I'm completely puzzled.

Using Mozilla tip builds 2000-08-23 on WinNT, 2000-08-24 on Linux.
Confirming bug. I notice that while Mozilla seems to be hanging, there 
are actually hundreds of these messages being sent to the debug console:

         .
         .
Enabling Quirk StyleSheet
Enabling Quirk StyleSheet
Enabling Quirk StyleSheet
Enabling Quirk StyleSheet
         .
         .

I interrupted this on Linux to get a stack trace; will attach below

Attachment: Linux stack trace -

I see no JS Engine problems indicated in the trace; reassigning to 
Layout for further triage -

[Phil Schwartau]

Reassigning to evaughan, because of the similarity of this bug to bug 49927

Comment 8

[Eric Vaughan]

Just tried this in the current build and it works fine.

Comment 9

[Tobias Burnus]

Using the also rather new build 2000-08-31-21/Linux I doesn't crash, but it
doesn't work either.
The frameset index.html (or so) loads, the frame nav.html loads below and the
big frame home.html loads within the frameset, but nothing else happens.

Expected: home.html loads a page names home??.asp. ??=xx,1p,2p,3p,... using some
tricky JavaScript.

Surprisingly, the JavaScript in home.html works, when I goto
http://www.airbus.com/home.html directly, but it doesn't work if loaded as
frameset: http://www.airbus.com/

Reopen; maybe someone can change the summery to something more appropiate.

Looks like a layout bug.
