Summary Reproducible hang: document.location = "#anchor" causes page not to load

Reported 2006-05-31 06:14:53 PDT
This pages begins to load - I get the title of the page in the top of the window but then just white. At that point I can't look at the source of the page.

I'm very new to this bugzilla/bug-reporting thing.

Confirming bug. This is probably NOT a duplicate of Bug 6309 or Bug 8522. This looks like it may be a recursion loop and/or infinite loop as the URL is only requested once from the server per Ethereal. The failing test works fine in Firefox 1.5.0.3. It would be interesting to find out if updating document.location.hash has the same effect or not.

(In reply to comment #4) > Confirming bug. This occurs on Safari 2.0.3 (417.9.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.6 (8I127/PowerPC) as well as with a locally-built WebKit r14643.

I'll look into this one tonight, i think i've seen rumors on the web that updating document.location.hash has the same result. That would probably be easy to test, for instance by moving the javascript in the first testcase to the bottom of the html file. Perhaps you could try that ddkilzer?

Created attachment 8623 [details] Moved script to bottom of page (after anchor) The timer still spins endlessly after the page loads (if the script is moved to the bottom after the anchor). The only difference is that you can now see the content. Tested in WebKit r14643. Time to go to work. :(

This turns out to be more of a problem then i thought it was, as a simple javascript:document.location.hash='test' causes a hang.
