load image, load next image immediately, fires both onload events

load image, load next image after delay, fires only first onload

Details 
** Checked with 6/21/2001 Win32 build **

The error message says:

"Netscape6/Mozilla has support for the "onload" event handler, but there is a
small bug. If an image is replaced with a new image then "onload" is not
executed again. This is definitely a bug in Netscape/Mozilla, it is not
according to the Javascript standard. I have tested Netscape versions 6.01 and
Mozilla v0.9, they both contain the same bug."

If this has been fixed in the current builds, then this would 
be an evangelism bug. Otherwise, please consider
fixing it.
The site authors have made this error unavoidable in Mozilla. 

Load the site http://www.numion.com/YourSpeed/ in any browser, and 
look at the source code behind the "Start!" button for "The world":


<form action="http://www.numion.com/YourSpeed/Checkup.php">
  <input type=hidden name=L value="world">
  <td align=right>
      <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
      <b>The world</b></font></td>
  <td>

  <input type=submit value="Start!"></td>
</form>



OK, now look at the source of http://www.numion.com/YourSpeed/Checkup.php :


<html>
<head>
<meta name="Description" content="[Webspeed] YourSpeed - Start">
<meta name="Author" content="Jeroen Kessels, jeroen@numion.com">
<!-- This page was last modified on: 20 june 2001 04:23:06 -->
<title>[Numion] YourSpeed - Start</title>

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera") > 0)
  top.location.href = "SorryOpera.html";

if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Gecko") > 0) 
  top.location.href = "SorryNetscape.html";

</script>

                   etc. 
                   etc.



So - the site authors are simply sniffing the userAgent, rejecting
Mozilla out-of-hand...and putting up the page you are referring to,

Reassigning to Evangelism component. I do not know what bug the 
site authors are referring to about onLoad. But as long as they have
their HTML this way, Mozilla is simply being excluded by them -

Priority P1. I will look at this soonest.

Note: For the immediate load, in build 2001-06-20-04/win2k, the first time you
load the test case only one onload will fire. If you reload the page, both
onload events fire. For the delayed load, only one onload will fire on the first
load or on subsequent reloads.

I may have implemented the image load event, but joki is the real events guy,

They seem to be accepting Mozilla now. The anti-social JavaScript checking seems
to be gone. Testing on 0.9.5, mozilla.org RPMs on RH7.2.

But this site's operation still seems somewhat flakey -- see bug 108887.
