584188 - Clicking a form submit button on an invisible iframe noops

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Benjamin Stover (:stechz)]

The code for button click is here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/content/html/content/src/nsHTMLButtonElement.cpp#220

It relies on a presShell existing, which doesn't happen if an iframe is loaded as display: none.

Expected behavior IMO: the form should submit.

Move all DOM bugs that haven’t been updated in more than 3 years and has no one currently assigned to P5.
