Bug 14518 – failed to ajax call/flash content fails to appear

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

[Johnathan]

Dialog box appears when loading site containing message 'http://www.v8supercar.com.au/ - failed to ajax call'. When selecting 'broadband for full experience' on right-hand side of page, Webkit loads indefinitely. Page does not appear as it does in Internet Explorer or Firefox. (flash content fails to appear.)

This appears to work in Firefox only due to some Mozilla-specific code in the script:

if (g_bid == "Mozilla")
{
    // In Mozilla its possible to overide
<...skipped...>
    XMLDocument.prototype.loadXML = function(p_xml_string) {return MetaWrap.XML.Document.loadXML(this,p_xml_string);};
}

  I'm not sure why this page works in Internet Explorer, but chances are that this is an evangelism issue for WebKit.

  I could not reproduce this, although the page took quite a while to load.

Thanks for your feedback Alexy.
Should I resolve the bug as 'WONTFIX' due to the fact that this page won't appear properly unless there is Webkit-specific code added to the script?(In reply to comment #1)

In these types of cases, we usually change the bug to an 'evangelism' bug and politely contact the author/owner of the web site to ask them to update their site to work with Safari.

P5 is not used for WebKit bugs. [http://webkit.org/quality/bugpriorities.html]

Per comment #3 marked as an evangelism bug. I checked the page in WebKit r39474 and I cannot reproduce the described problem any more on reported site so I assume that bug is fixed now
