Bug 12368 – Amazon.com "click to see price" window partially left behind when closed

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Evangelism

[Alice Liu]

Go to an amazon.com product page where you have to click a link to see the sale price.  (right now, you can search for s4695d and find a samsung tv that will do the job, but that won't be a valid statement forever)

click on the link that says "click to see the price" and a window will popup, and press the window's close button.  Not all of it goes away. 

The range of regression is between r16987(works) and r16994(broken).  It is most certainly changeset 16988 since its the only one in the range pertaining to rendering.  That fix was for bug 4377.

When i said "most certainly" I meant "almost certainly".  I haven't investigated at a finer resolution at this time.

Could you post a review of the TV on this bug if you decide to buy one?  ;)

ToT crashes when opening amazon.com's home page (Bug 12369).

This is not a bug. Amazon.com actually relies on broken behavior that was fixed in bug 4377. Specifically tiger webkit would not paint any children of a layer with visibility:none, even if visible.  The script
 
http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/nav2/gamma/n2CoreLibs/n2CoreLibs-simplePopover-41389.js

has the following check in hide function (and similar for show)

if (goN2U.bIsSafari) { 
goN2U.hide(this.myID); 
} else { 
goN2U.undisplay(this.myID); 
} 

goN2U.hide() sets visibility:hidden for the top level abs positioned div, but that does not anymore hide the children, leaving some user visible carbage. Removing the Safari check and using generic undisplay() path (which sets display:none) here makes the popup hiding work as expected (seemingly even with tiger webkit).

Per Comment #3, this is now an evangelism issue.

Mark, do you have a contact at Amazon.com?

Perhaps Todd can lend a hand...

My name is Ken Day.  I'm a development engineer on Amazon's JavaScript Framework.  This bug report was brought to our attention.

Is this bug reproducable in a released Safari/WebKit combination?

Hi Ken! Thanks for giving this bug some attention! The bug is not present in any released version of Safari/WebKit, but it exists in our Nightly builds. You can download our Nightlies at nightly.webkit.org

This bug is visible on Safari 3 (see bug #14427).

I'm unable to reproduce the described problem. I think the amazon.com was redesigned since time of reporting this bug.

[Alexander Strange]

I can't find an Amazon page using "click to see price" but the problem still exists (as above).

Searching for "Sony XBR" returns many hits that have "Click to see price" links.  For example:

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Bravia-KDL-52XBR6-52-Inch-1080p/dp/B001F7HJL0/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1230121778&sr=8-1

I don't see this issue anymore with Safari 3.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.11.  It seems that Amazon has fixed the issue (or perhaps that JavaScript code doesn't run anymore for recent Safari versions).

[Alexander Strange]

That works; I guess #14427 isn't a duplicate anymore, then.
