From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.4-jbr i686; en-US; rv:0.8.1+) Gecko/20010502 BuildID: 2001050206 The above page seems to continously reload, without ever displaying, when an attempt is made to access it. NOTE: access to this page works for mozilla 0.8.1 20010422 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html Actual Results: The page continously reloads, without displaying. Seen on tty: Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully Document http://www.investorservicesinc.cibc.com/Public/en/index.html loaded successfully etc, etc, etc Expected Results: The page should have been displayed. Just a reiteration of the fact that this page is accessible with Mozilla 0.8.1 (20010422)
This is due to the following: The url is a frameset (Not relevant) The Frameset tag is: <frameset onResize="reloadPage()" rows="78,*" cols="*" frameborder=NO framespacing=0 border="0"> The reloadPage function is: function reloadPage() { if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") { if(parseFloat(navigator.appVersion)!=6) { self.location.reload(); } } } Therefore Netscape 6 won't have a problem with this page. This is a duplicate of Bug 77321.
Given that 77321 was opened a month ago, I am not expecting a speedy resolution to this problem. So, in the absence of a fix, is there anything I can set in my preferences file that will "fool" the web page into thinking not doing the reload? Changing general.useragent.override did not seem to make a difference?
unfortunately navigator override is for http headers or something. js engine/dom? don't have a pref for lying about navigator object internals. we can either RFE for that or complain to the webmaster. Complain=reassign to Evangelism component.
Given that Opera (linux), MS IE, Netscape 4.77 and 6.01 all work, complaining to the web master would probably not get very far. At any rate, this is a bona fide bug, is it not? The reload should only be happening on a resize, and since I am not resizing, the browser should not be continuously reloading.
perhaps dom events for firing?
