Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Massimiliano C.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0

Before the upgrade to FF 5.0 a webpage containing the script provided in the TestURL was working as a sharm.

After the upgrade, when you click on "open popup" it didnt generate the virtual webpage with document.write, it will only show everything is after the </script> tag, the problem is due to </script> tag inside the document.write function (I need to do it, for generate a popup form with autosubmit).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Open popup
2. Give a look to the Popup Source page.

Actual Results:  
Firefox will open a popup, and write inside everything is after the <script></script> tag is written.

Expected Results:  
Firefox will open a popup, and write inside the popup the form and script for autosubmit it.

Tested on Win7 64bit and 32bit.
With Internet Explorer 8 and 9 it work as sharm.

Upgrade from where?

Firefox 4 has the same behavior...

In any case, it looks like this page does a submit() while it's still being written to, then the following write() cancels the submit is my guess.  Checking on that.

The behavior here changed back in October 2010, in this range: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=178f26e21cfc&tochange=ad0a0be8be74

I'm guessing the culprit is the CreateAboutBlankContentViewer change mrbkap added, somehow...

Henri, do your about:blank changes affect this at all?

From the automatic update of ff.

I'v written it on Oct 2009, and I'v saw it still working some months ago.
That's why I thought it was due of FF 5.x upgrade.

But Yes, u'r right, with FF 4.0.1 it still did not work. So maybe FF 3.x I was using during the developing.

It seems that they don't.

Worksforme, as far as I can tell. The popup tries to load "gw_vpopup.php".
