This looks to me like a reappearance of bug 20700. If I submit a form and the form action handler sends me back a page with the same URL, View Source shows me the HTML source of the original page and not the new page. In Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001010

hrm, part of me thinks this is a dup of bug 55583 --but there's no method in the form tag. bill/rod/vladimir, what d'you think?

I agree; looks like that bug (55583) on the face of it. Is there a specific url that this bug is referring to?

The URL I experienced this on is on an internal development site that's only intermittently available outside of our network, if at all. If you want to see it, I can probably make an instance of it available. In case it matters, I should make clear that an idiosyncracy of the URL in question is not just that the page is dynamically generated, but that it contains a form tag with no action attribute, so that submitting the form goes back to the same URL, which then returns a different page.

Bug 20700 was about the view source window showing the page instead of the html source. Since you ended up back at the same url, the form was probably a POST form. It sounds like when you did view source, the page with the form showed up instead of the page resulting from the post. I agree with sairuh and law that this is a dup of bug 55583. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55583 ***
