54366 - <SCRIPT>document.write('<A HREF="url">');</script>ClickHere</a> fails.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Stephen Morris]

In the Smart Update site key links are not being
displayed as Beta 3 builds such as 2000092408 Win32 fail code like:

<SCRIPT>
document.write('<A HREF="url">');
</script>
ClickHere</A>

Note that the "ClickHere</A>" is outside of the <SCRIPT> tags.

See the example URL (above too):

The Smart Update site, as well as other sites that are generated
based on the user's prefs, platform, OS,etc., are failing with beta 3.

rtm-, future. [This is ekrock.] ChrisN, TPringle, could you please inform the
Netcenter SmartUpdate contacts that (a) we won't be fixing this bug for RTM, so
(b) they will have to modify their content to use the simple workaround, which
is to have something like this:

<NOSCRIPT>
<A HREF="no_javascript_page.html">Click here</A>
</NOSCRIPT>
<SCRIPT>
document.write ("A HREF='javascript_page.html'>Click here</A>");
</SCRIPT>

... instead of this:

<NOSCRIPT>
<A HREF="no_javascript_page.html">
</NOSCRIPT>
<SCRIPT>
document.write ("A HREF='javascript_page.html'>");
</SCRIPT>
Click here</A>
