66097 - Perpetual alert box

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 61098

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Adhitya Chittur]

On Friday 1/19/01 nightly Win32 Installer build:
Go to the URL, click on USA, then accept, and you should be on Step 2.  Click on 
 "I do not have an alternate email address" or place the cursor inside the 
Alternate Email Address box.  You get a javascript alert "Object KeyEvent not 
defined".  Click OK, box keeps coming back, making Moz unusable.

Browser, not engine --> Event Handling

Comment 3

[Phil Schwartau]

Using Mozilla nightly binaries 20010121xx on WinNT, Linux. 
Marking WORKSFORME. When I click on the "I do not have another
email address" checkbox, I get no alert box, and no errors
in the JavaScript console. Also no problems if I do this with the 
Alternate Email Address box - 


However, I wonder if it could have something to do with the 
installer process...? My nightlies were obtained without using
the installer. 


Adhitya, could you try the site again with a build from 2001-01-21 or later?
If you are having no problem any more, could you mark this bug VERIFIED? 
Otherwise, you can reopen it - thanks.

I went back with the 1/21 nightly Win32 installer build on Win98, and had the 
same KeyEvent problem.  However, I'm not so sure it has to do with the email 
checkbox anymore.  I clicked the checkbox a couple of times with no problem, but 
then I got the error again when I tried to leave the site by typing in the URL 
space.  Same problem, had to ctrl-alt-del to shut down moz.

A good example is here:
English: http://members.aon.at/housemice/klicke.htm (attaching this one)
 German: http://members.aon.at/housemice/klick.htm

There should be some way to escape from alert boxes popping up again and again.

Reassigning QA Contact for all open and unverified bugs previously under Lorca's

Is this widespread?  Site specific?  Compatibility issue (site using IE and 
Nav4.7-only constructs)?

Comment 10

[Stephan Niemz]

No.  Yes.  No.  See my above (and attached) example.

Comment 11

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

Since this isn't widespread, and Tom has enough to do as is, minusing and moving
to 1.0.
