FormPanel & FireFox strange behaviour

[hoosie]

Hi All,

Curious if anyone else has seen this problem. I am using a FormPanel
within a PopupPanel, and in IE everything works with no problems. In
FireFox, everything also works fine, however after I submit the form
and receive the response, FireFox still displays the message
"Transferring Data from 69.197.152.133..." and the cursor remains the
hourglass as if something is still happening. I can still do
everything I want, I can select other items, resubmit the form etc, so
it's not affecting functionality, however its sure to confuse users.

Anyone see this or have any ideas? Thanks!

As a sidenote I don't think this is directly related to the Submit
button bug, which I fixed using the code here:

hoosie,
I don't know for sure, but this appears to be a Firefox problem. If
you google for "firefox transferring status bar" you'll find lots of
sites discussing this issue, including a Bugzilla issue filed against
Firefox. I've seen this occur on many AJAX sites using Firefox/Camino.
It could be that HTTP Keep-Alive connections cause the browser to
display the 'transferring' message even though all transfers are done.

Just looking at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=&content=transferring

there appears to have been many cases of this in the past. I have also
seen references to document.write() JS calls affecting it.
