Description Carlos Augusto 2006-03-06 15:57:20 PST
Dear team,

Under OS X 10.4.5 (and earlier versions), Safari, Webkit (Version13170, March 6, 2006), OmniWeb 5.1.3, all have problems with this page of the IEEE website:

<http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/periodicals.jsp>

When clicking on any link of the alphabetic index, no list of publications is shown.
However, Camino does show the list of publications.
I hope this description is sufficient.

Thank you.
Regards,
Carlos Augusto

This server redirects Safari to a broken version of itself:
$ curl -I http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/periodicals.jsp --header "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/417 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/417"
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
<...>
Location: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/jrns.jsp

This page references a non-existent JavaScript file, /styles/xplorejs/tree_tpl1.js, which seems to be an implementation of the list. Please report this to the webmaster.

With user agent being spoofed, the site doesn't work for a different reason - insertAdjacentHTML seems to be unimplemented in WebKit:
[991] http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/periodicals.jsp?letter=A&type=0&list=all line 1919: TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression insertAtObj.insertAdjacentHTML) is not object.

The broken redirect problem can only be fixed by the site webmaster. I suggest that we use this bug to track insertAdjacentHTML implementaion.

Filed Bug 12969 to track the evangelism issue.  I'm an IEEE member, so I'll try to find the correct person to write to get this addressed.

Adding YahooBug keyword since this currently blocks Bug 8947.
