From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) BuildID: 20010131 When an ASP page tries to send a custom JavaScript out to Netscape by substituting ASP variables in the JavaScript, Netscape 6 drops the ASP variable's value. for e.g. document.form1.<%=lsFieldName%>.value where the lsFieldName variable is an ASP variable. What the view source in Netscape 6 shows is: document.form1..value The ASP variable substitution is completely ignored. Viewing the HTTP sends and gets by a packet sniffer shows that the HTML and Javascript is getting sent out correctly from IIS. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: As given above Actual Results: The variable value dosent get substituted in the javascript Expected Results: the variable should have put its value in the string document.form1.AccountCode1.value even var somestring somestring = document.form1.<%=lsFieldName%>.value; does not work.

Poster, please report bugs here that can only be confirmed with a current mozilla nightly build, Netscape 6 is based off of this software and these versions are more current than what is released in the Netscape branded release ,please download a copy here http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/ and post back here if you find the problem still exists or does not exist.

Reporter could you give a url? It's impossible to test without a testcase.

Could you attach the example page? one that is on the server, one that is sent to NS6 (before NS6 recieves it), one that is gotten by doing a saved as in NS6 and one that is gotten via view source (copy & paste) Another thing, it would be good if you can download Mozilla 0.9.2 to test and see if it is still there. NS6 is 6 months old.

This is caused by "view source" refetching from the server. We don't repost form varibles, and something like this is exactly what happens in that case. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55583 ***
