From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010215
BuildID: 2001011508
A javascript: href containing an HTML character reference (numeric encoding
using the &#ddd; form) is re-encoded using the URI %xx form. This breaks the
JavaScript code.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Testcase javascript: href problem</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Testcase <code>javascript:</code> href problem</h1>
<p>
Shows how Mozilla 0.8 is confused by character references in
<code>javascript:</code> hrefs.
It seems to find it necessary to re-encode the href value using the %xx
notation.
While this is probably the right thing to do for ordinary URIs it obviously
breaks JavaScript:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Please open the JavaScript console (<var>Tasks/Tools/JavaScript
Console</var>)</li>
<li><a href="javascript:alert('·Hello World·')">Test it!</a>
(should display an alert box showing <code>·Hello
World·</code>)</li>
</ol>
<p>
The code works fine on IE 5.5 and Opera 5.02.
</p>
</body>
</html>
