Description
Name: gm110360 Date: 03/31/2004
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_04-b05, mixed mode)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Calling typeof(document.applets[0].isActive) from javascript now results in the value being "undefined". Was fine in previous versions of the plugin.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create a basic applet (mine was just a label on the applet itself)
2. The HTML is as follows:-
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Applet Test</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function resize()
{
if ( document.applets.length == 0 )
{
alert("Applets Length = 0");
setTimeout("resize()", 200);
return;
}
else if ( typeof(document.applets[0].isActive) == "undefined" )
{
window.open("error.html","_parent");
return;
}
else
{
alert("Ok");
}
}
window.onresize = resize;
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onResize="resize()">
<APPLET CODE="TestApplet" NAME="testing" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=200>
</BODY>
</HTML>
3. After the applet loads, resize IE, the page will redirect to the error page
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No page redirection
ACTUAL -
isActive was undefined, thus redirecting the page in the example above.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class TestApplet extends Applet
{
public TestApplet()
{
Label l = new Label("Testing");
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(l, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
}
plus the following HTML
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Applet Test</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function resize()
{
if ( document.applets.length == 0 )
{
alert("Applets Length = 0");
setTimeout("resize()", 200);
return;
}
else if ( typeof(document.applets[0].isActive) == "undefined" )
{
window.open("error.html","_parent");
return;
}
else
{
alert("Ok");
}
}
window.onresize = resize;
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onResize="resize()">
<APPLET CODE="TestApplet" NAME="testing" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=200>
</BODY>
</HTML>
---------- END SOURCE ----------
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
No test to see if the applet is active... not possible in the full production case we are using.
Release Regression From : 1.4.2
The above release value was the last known release where this
bug was known to work. Since then there has been a regression.
