Sorry for the sloppy report. Here is the correct one: 1. Create a page like the this, and save it as "test.html". Upload it to a server because when you load it in firefox, it has to be via 'http://' not 'file://'. The bug only shows up in the 'http://' mode. <html> <head> <script language="javascript"> function myopenwin(){ hdWindow = window.open("test.html", 'WinName1', "width=750, height=400" ); } </script> </head> <body> <form name="f1" action="test.html" method="get"> <a HREF="javascript:myopenwin()">test on &lt;A&gt; [working]</a><br> test with onchange() [not working]: <select size="1" name="var1" onChange="myopenwin()"> <option value="">Empty <option value="1">1 </select> <br> test with onclick() [not working]: <input name="b1" type="button" value="go" onclick="myopenwin()"> </form> </body> </html> 2. Load this page "test.html" into firefox 3. Clicks on the first link work, the other two don't. Actual Results: Freezes firefox Expected Results: Open a new window with the same content
I'm afraid your bug is not reproductible for me. The tree links are opening the right page, no freezing. The issue might have been fixed between your version and 3.6.6. You should update your firefox. Windows XP SP3 Firefox 3.6.6
Yep, I retested it with Firefox 3.6.6 on windows XP SP3 and windows 7. I was unable to reproduce the bug. Both system give the correct result on all actions. Thanks anyway for your time to check it out after so much time.
