55973 - [JS/DOM] Page doesn't load and html stops responding.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Dave]

Build 2000101008/Linux Mtrunk. This bug may be related to bug 40561 which was
closed because the test page changed.

The above URL has a couple text boxes where the user is asked to type in "name"
and "surname." Upon typing something in these boxes and clicking the OKAY! link,
the following page does not load and the html on the current page stops
responding until the user moves to a different page or reloads the current one.
In addition, the following error appears on in the terminal window:

JavaScript error:
 line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Failure"  code: "-2147467259"
nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "<unknown>"]

To reproduce:

1.) Go to the url above (http://www.the-scorpions.com/scripts_us/index_us.html)
2.) Type your name in the text boxes... or big bubba, or whatever you want.
3.) hit the "OKAY!" link.
4.) You should get the behaviour described above.


Behaviour on other platforms:

Worked OK on NS 4.7 once I disabled "warn before accepting cookie" since the
"OKAY!" link appears to have a mouseover handler which automatically sets a cookie.

Worked fine on IE 5/ Win NT4

Attachment: html for JS on testcase page.

Comment 2

[Dave]

It took me forever to be able to view the source on the page I attached since
there's also a handler for onrightclick in the js code.

NOTE: The incorrect behaviour _cannot_ be observed with the testcase I just
attached. It appears that the page must be in a frameset in order for the messup
to occur.

I'll attach the source for the frameset.

Comment 3

[Dave]

Attachment: frameset which displays buggy behaviour

Comment 4

[Dave]

The above attachment is the exact frameset from the original page except that I
modified it to contain absolute URLs instead of relative ones. It appears to
still "work" incorrectly.
