Bug 14933 – Quick Reply feature misplaces iframe on KFAN fourms

When trying to reply on the KFAN.com forums, the "fast reply" option does not work. I click on it, and the page just reloads rather than a reply box popping up.

Confirmed with a local debug build of WebKit r25008 with Safari 3 Public Beta v. 3.0.3 (522.12.1) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218).

I see two issues with this page:

1. Clicking on the Quick Reply link for a given post appears to reload the entire page and places an <iframe> at the top of the page instead of placing it where the user has scrolled to.  This happens whether we're using the default Safari user agent or spoofing as Firefox 2.0.0.2 (using the Debug menu in Safari), so I'm inclined to think that this may be a WebKit bug.

Note that this forum is based on Community Server 2.0 (http://communityserver.org/), so if turns out not to be a WebKit bug, it will probably be an evangelism issue for that software.

2. Once the Quick Reply <iframe> is drawn (at the top of the page), a plain textarea is used instead of a rich text editor.  This is because the FreeTextBox editor doesn't support WebKit/Safari.  I filed Bug 14943 to track that issue.

This bug should track the issue described in Item 1.

In (the real) Firefox 2.0.0.6, the entire page does NOT appear to reload, and the <iframe> is placed within the visible area of the page where the user happens to be.  This is the expected behavior.
