.js source files seem to be loaded concurrently, breaking any javascript calls
that depend on previous scripts. Even framesets are loaded before scripts are
complete. The timing is random, so errors occur in different places. In the
folowing code, the init() call may fail or anything in frame.html that
references parent.*()


<html>
<head>
<script src="../util.js"></script>
<script src="i18n.js"></script>
<script src="../main.js"></script>
<script>
init('self', 'i18n["app title"]')
</script>
</head>

<frameset border="0" frameborder="no" rows="0,*" onLoad="start()" onUnload="end
()" onResize="change()">
  <frameset border="0" frameborder="no" cols="25%,25%,25%,25%">
    <frame name="cfgFrame" noresize scrolling="no" src="../frame.html">
    <frame name="mboxFrame" noresize scrolling="no" src="../frame.html">
    <frame name="cmdFrame" noresize scrolling="no" src="../frame.html">
    <frame name="msgFrame" noresize scrolling="no" src="../frame.html">
  </frameset>
  <frame name="mailFrame" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" noresize
src="../frame.html">
</frameset>
</html>

JavaScript source files are loaded sequentially and the parsing process is
blocked until the sourced script files is retrieved and evaluated. A small test
case that I created works correctly. To fully run your test case and see what
might be going on, I'm going to need your script files as well.
Please try msg54.mcom.com (User "x" and passwd "x") This seems to fail with
apprunner, not viewer and the most common missing function is init()
Form submission is broken in Necko. :-( I'll need to wait till it's fixed before
looking at this bug again.

Doesn't look like the original URL is valid any longer. I have a test case on
http://blueviper/vidur/sequential that loads 11 scripts and confirms that they
are loaded in sequential order. As far as I'm concerned, this bug is fixed.

When I did look at the original page and talked to richmond@netscape a couple of
months ago, it did seem like there were other, unrelated problems with the page.
The bug was left open for richmond@netscape.com to do a bit more investigation.
I don't believe he works at Netscape anymore. Either way, I believe the original
claim of the bug is incorrect.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
According to vidurs testcase, everything seems working fine. All scripts are
loaded sequentially.
Marking verified.
