588324 - Dynamic nested IFRAME does not render

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.126 Safari/533.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.6.8

When dynamically creating nested IFRAMEs using JavaScript, the second IFRAME does not render. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an IFRAME node using JavaScript and append it to the document body.
2. Use document.write to write an external <SCRIPT> into that IFRAME.
3. In the external <SCRIPT>, write a second IFRAME into the first, with a src attribute.
Actual Results:  
The second, nested IFRAME does not appear in the document.

Expected Results:  
In other browsers on Windows and Linux, including Chrome and Internet Explorer, the second nested IFRAME appears in the document, with the content from its' "src" attribute displayed.

This bug is stopping some of the dynamic ads delivered by doubleclick to our website from being displayed when our site is viewed in Firefox.

I have two documents forming a concise test case that I will upload with this bug report. The test case document is displayed as expected in Chrome (Windows, Linux) and Internet Explorer (Windows).

I'd like to report that this bug is now fixed in Firefox 5.0 for Linux. I used my test-case, attached above, using Mozilla Firefox 5.0 on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) - User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
