8920 - My.Netscape.Com form submission fails.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Lynggaard Hansen]

when i try to surf my.netscape.com (this happens on multiple pages), and there
is something after the url (I think it is CGI parametres) then mozilla will loop
and keep rereading the page and adding stuff to the end of the URL. I keeps
adding the CGI stuff.

I only see this on some of the my.netscape pages and nowhere else.

to see this problem try adding a my.netscape chanel from dmoz.org like this:
1. goto
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/WWW/Web_Portals/Netscape.com/My_Netscape_Netw
ork/Computers/

2. click on the "newest PC shareware from netcenter" chanel to bring up the
preview window (my.netscape.com/addchannel.tmpl?service=net.520)

3. click add

since i can't get into my netscape I can't log in with mozilla and the correct
behaviour would be a sign up / login page, but that is never reached

I can't give ytou the exact URL it tries to load, 'cus it crashed when i tried
to reproduce the problem (talkback started collection time=26-06-99 23:23)

Warren, do you have any idea who own's the current "My Netscape doesn't work"
bug?  Is this a necko or a gecko issue?

No idea right now.

nisheeth....looks like we have my.netscape.com problems again.  petersen, can
you reproduce this?

Comment 4

I looked at this and, for some reason, clicking on Add does not submit the form.
Eric and me went over the code and verified that the problem is somewhere in the
form code that handles click events.  Re-assigning bug to Eric for further
analysis.

Hmm, at least part of the problem appears to be that the URL that is visited
when the button is clicked is:

"javascript:do_add();document.create_form.submit();"

Javascript URL's don't work yet.  This is bug 1646.

Since I don't want to loose this test case I'm marking as "depends on 1646" and
pushing to M10

Newest PC Shareware link moved to:
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/WWW/Web_Portals/Netscape.com/My_Netscape_Network/Computers/Software/

The form submission works, but there are still errors with this page.  I'm
moving to M13 to trace them down, may end up just closing out bug.

[Eric Pollmann]

Moving to M14.  Guessing I won't get this in for tomorrow.

Comment 9

[Eric Pollmann]

This works for me in today's build.

With the Feb 01 build, I'm not able to reproduce this problem.
