JavaScript writes the finishing "); of a document.write()-command in the active 
document when I use the Back-button after clicking on two letters at 
www.jammni.de (it's the part at the very bottom of the page).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit www.jammni.de and click on two letters
2. click on the Back-button


Actual Results:  The JavaScript-Engine outputs too much.

Browser, not engine. Reassigning to Browser-General -

Do you mean the part at the very TOP of the page? 
I don't see any letters at the bottom!

So far, the site works fine for me with builds 20010713xx on WinNT, Linux.
Could you try a more recent build and see if you still have a problem?

Thanks -

I've just tested with the same build as the reporter and have not found any
problems with the site. However I have a feeling that this is caused by cache as
it only happens when back is pressed.

You're right - I cleared the cache and everything worked fine.
But in the end there is a problem with the cache.
Mozilla showed the pages correctly when I visit the pages via link, but used 
another page from the cache (a false one).
Perhaps you should fix this too.
But I couldn't reproduce the problem with modifying a file while it was shown.

Well, I found a way to reproduce it, but I don't know whether it is a bug or 
not - because the htm-file is not really w3c-conform.

Download the files http://home.t-online.de/home/joe.g/showbot.js and 
http://home.t-online.de/home/joe.g/alonein4.htm. And may be you should clear 
your cache.
Next insert some text into the downloaded htm-file after the last table.
Open a site in Mozilla and then load the htm-file. Click on the back-Button and 
then the forward-Button. Delete the inserted text and insert the text after the 
closing body-tag. Reload the page, go back and forward and you will see the 
wrong output.
The problem is, that mozilla closes the html-tag with the body-tag, but when it 
loads the file from cache, the text entered between body and html is written 
after the closing-html-tag and a second closing html-tag is written.
Click at View Page Source in Mozilla.

But I'm sure that in the first comment posted there was no code between the 
closing-body-tag and the closing-html-tag ...


I hope you can reproduce the problem.

According to the last comment I would say that this is a dup of 79983.

So reporter, could you please get a newer build and try to reproduce the problem
again?

Comment 7

[Jammni]

Seems to me, that it is a duplicate of the bug 79983.
But another problem is, that mozilla writes two closing html-tags into the 
source-code (when viewing it in the internal editor).

But I will check it with a newer version.

Resolving this bug as dup of 79983 according to the last comment.
Reporter, if you can still reproduce this bug then reopen it.
