672019 - JavaScript alert dialog hides frames

Status: UNCONFIRMED

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

Description

[John A. Bilicki III]

When a JavaScript alert dialog is displayed on a page with frames the bottom frame is pushed down by the text in the dialog if it pushes past the frame it was triggered from, at least that is my best current interpretation of the issue.

I posted the following JavaScript in an XHTML anchor to demonstrate something recently...

javascript:alert(new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(document));

While browsing my site with the music player running I clicked on the example link and the frame was pushed down...again I think this is in conjunction with the fact that there is a lot of code so it's probably pushing the frame down.

Merely clicking okay does not resolve the issue, toggling full-screen mode or resizing the browser does however.

Live example here...

The anchor above is located in the blog entry dated July 9th, 2011.

I also confirmed this on Firefox/8.0a1 / Gecko/20110713, I'm using 64-Bit XP.

I don't see any change in layout on the Mac 20110711 nightly.
