78482 - frameset forgets target, so that _top does not function

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

Description

[NextVision]

Build: 6.0
(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001108 
Netscape6/6.0 )
Reproducible: Always.

Steps To reproduce.
1. try loading the page "oversigt" by clicking on the link "oversigt" in the 
bottom om the page 

2. in the menu presented in the main area, press one of the links here. the 
browser follows the link

3. choose "oversigt" again and choose one of the links once more.

Actual Result:
The page reloads, and do not follow the link.

Desired result:
the frameset should reload, and appear with a new page, however it does not, it 
reloads itself.

the problem only occurs on 6.0 and not on 4.07

The problem seems to be connected to the reference target _top, and possibly to 
the use of HTTP GET parameters.

NOTE: the page is an ASP file, with the same name, from each reload, filling 
content from a database.

This worksforme on Linux, build 2001-05-01-08 using
http://194.255.24.41/default2.asp?page_id=93 for the URL (the JS at
http://www.dpu.dk just throws exceptions).

Possibly fixed by NewCache?

Tested with the latest build, Issue is not occurring, in this build.

Would seem that something fixed the bug, thank you.

Comment 5

The bug does not appear in latest build, changing resolution to Fixed

Comment 6

[Fabian Guisset]

Even though the correct resolution should be "worksforme" (because no patch has
been attached and we don't know what exactly "fixed" it), to avoid more spam
I'll just verify this as fixed :)
VERIFIED fixed
