From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) BuildID: 2001062815 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 -

info@jammni.de: > 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). 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?
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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 79983 ***
