Bug 21684 – flash keeps on loading continuously and goes in a loop which breaks the page

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[jasneet]

I Steps:
Go to http://www.oceanadventuresbarbados.com/oai/index.html
When the flash loads mouse over/click on any link or just wait for the page to load.

II Issue:
Clicking on any link in flash should change the content below flash.Since flash keeps on loading sometimes the content doesnt change. ( pressing stop or Esc stops the flash to go in the loop)

III Conclusion:
This issue is caused by the error of the html source code. There are two separate html definition in the same source of the page:

The 1st html definition has a javascript error on onload handler
The 2nd html definition contains a javascript function which leads to endless loop of loading.

IE/FF, when meet the error of the 1st html definition, it doesn't execute the javascript function of the 2nd html definition; However webkit proceeds to execute the javascript function of the 2nd html definition,  and therefore falls into endless looping.

IV Other Browsers:
IE7: ok
FF3: ok

V Nightly tested: 37604
