56625 - back button not working in frameset when new window is opened by a link

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56062

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect, P2)

Description

[Azrael AOD]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001010
BuildID:    2000101015

No back function in frameset... specific to opening a new window ??


Reproducible: Very specific case.. and every time.. other cases not too sure...

Steps to Reproduce:
Check out some hotmail
Visit a link from a mail
Surf furthe rin the new window.. then try the back button
(assuming the hotmail frame remains on top)

Actual Results:  No 'Back' functionality

I was looking at my hotmail e-mail.. and visited a link from it.
This opens the link in a new window.. topped by a hotmail frame..
The page I visited was at OSurceforge.. if that's any help.. and what happened
was that after visiting a few pages in sourceforge.. under the frame.. the back
button remained unlit.. and would not let me back my way through previous pages
in that browser.
Might be related to bug: 55359

Expected Results:  Expect it to go back to the previous page in the lower frame.


I am quite partial to chocolate cake. But I don't see why that's relevant.

It looks like bug 46828 (which 55359 was declared a dup of) is getting close to
being fixed...

Comment 4

[Jacob Steenhagen]

Bug 46828 is now fixed.  This is still a problem in 2000101908 on Win2k, so
appearently they weren't related.

[Joseph Elwell]

I see this at mail.yahoo.com occasionally. Saw it on today's comm linux build
2000101909.

Why is this pollmann?  Shouldn't it be radha?

Comment 7

[Eric Pollmann]

Yes, this probably belongs to Radha.  It is certainly similar to, and possibly a
duplicate of, bug 46845.

Comment 8

[Eric Pollmann]

ack, make that bug 46828.

Comment 9

[Jason Eager]

this is not a duplicate of 46828. 46828 has been fixed. If this bug remains, it
is therefore not a dupe.

One more:

Press Products in upper frame. No back is possible.

One more example

Comment 13

[Eugene Savitsky]

1. Load http://www.hansa.ee/
2. Press "Erakliendile" in the right frame
3. No back.

www.hansa.ee - is the biggest bank in Estonia (about 60% of the market) and is
one of a most visited pages in Estonia.

Comment 14

[Eugene Savitsky]

Another one - http://www.h-oda.com/

Load it. Press some buttons on the left frame. No Back is avaleble.

Many framed pages are affected. We need to nominate it for RTM, if we want a
good first impression of NS6.

Updating summary to be a better description (simply saying DIFFERENT THEN 46828
kept getting me confused and made it hard to find this bug when I was looking
for it).

Comment 16

[don]

Yep, these are still broken even with Radha's fix to bug #46828.  It should be
noted that only the "Back" button is broken in these examples.  In all but one
case, the "Go" menu still works.  So there is, at least, a workaround.

Comment 17

[Radha on family leave (not reading bugmail)]

This bug was creted for "back button not enabled when a frameset page is the
first page to load in a browser window.". This is addressed by 56062. This bug
later got morphed in to a bug for geberal frameset failures. marking this a dupe
of 56062 and moving some of the urls listed here to 46828, which deals with
general frameset failures. 

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 56062 ***

Removing dependancy and verifying dup.
