When loading the page 'http://www.rectorpress.com/IndiaBooks.html', Mozilla (M12 under RedHat Linux 6.1) displays duplicates of elements from the form at the bottom of the page. This is probably a bug inherited from Netscape 4.x, since it has a simular problem.

I don't see any duplicate form elements in either Gecko or Navigator 4.x. It looks just like it looks in IE

Re-opening bug and re-assigning to Kevin per the reporter's comments that the bug only happens on Linux and Unix: It only shows up in the *UNIX and Linux* versions of Netscape. The MS-Windows and MacOS versions don't seem to have the problem. I used Netscape 4.7 under Linux (RH6.1 (also 4.61), Netscape 4.51 under RH 5.2), Irix 6.5, and Dec UNIX 4.0 -- all had replicated copies of the upper form (the search form at the top). Mozilla (M12) has a *simular* problem, but it was replicating the lower form (order form at the bottom). Weird. I only tried Mozilla on a Linux box. I figured the Netscape problem might be related to Motif. Or maybe an X11 related issue, since the problem also occurs (sort of) with Mozilla. Note: the page (http://www.rectorpress.com/IndiaBooks.html) is a long page (580k bytes). The form elements are duplicated at various places in the page. It appears consistent with a given version of Netscape (across platforms) or Mozilla, but varies somewhat between versions.

Re-assigning

Waqar can you look at this Linux specific problem? Marking as [PP] and reassigning to Waqar. CC'ing blizzard

Adding "pp" keyword.

I do not see this in mozilla M13, but I do see it in communicator 4.7

Setting the target date.

Moving

Nom. nsbeta3, recc. nsbeta3+. Duplicating HTML form elements is bad because HTML forms are widely used. HTML 3.2 correctness--key b2 criterion, suggesting nsbeta3 rather than nsbeta2 only b/c platform-specific problem & nsbeta2 has tons of bugs already.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

forgot to set the milestone.

Marking nsbeta3-

bulk reassigning Waqar's bugs to Don.

The search form does not replicate on a current CVS build, Linux. Nor do other forms on the page. WFM.

While I don't see any error on the given URL, I guess I've been bitten by a similar bug while reading the page for bug 68136, where suddenly near the end of the page a listbox with a gray/dead content area but with a functioning scroll bar was floating over the text; by experimentation I found out that it was an exact duplicate (sans content) of the "CC:" listbox - change the scrollbar of either one, and the other will update accordingly! I'll attach a screenshot of both. All this wackyness happened using Mozilla 0.9.8 on Win98SE, so probably the OS-attribute of this bug should be changed?

I am gonna close this bug as WFE... Kurt Pruenner, can you open a new bug and add the correct data for what your seeing. I just think this one is closed and the problem your talking about it probably something else that may or may not have been reported.. but the summary should reflect what your seeing, and an url or test case that does break would be great. Thanks.

I'd gladly file a new bug if I were able to reproduce it myself now with Mozilla 1.0RC1 - but I can't. I guess that makes it a WORKSFORME on my side as well...
