[TYPO3-core] RFC: another problem with the GETvars adminpanel

Thu Apr 27 10:19:38 CEST 2006

Hi,

besides the numerous solveable problems with the GETvars adminpanel I found 
one issue where I don't see a solution yet:

Problem: 
the admin panel doesn't reload when I click the same button more than once.
this problem appears only in FireFox (on Linux & Windows) but not in IE.

Steps to reproduce:
enable the adminpanel and browse to any page of your site. Open some of the 
sections which show an Update button (e.g. Cache & Publish). Click on one of 
the update buttons - the site reloads - so far so good. Click on another 
update button - nothing happens. 
The same thing happens when one clicks multiple times on the "Clear cache 
now!" or "Publish!" button. The first click works the second click doesn't.

I investigated this a bit and found that the anchor "#TSFE_ADMIN" which is 
added to the action url causes the problem. Of course it's no option to 
remove this anchor. 
That behaviour seems also not the be a special problem of the admin panel but 
a general Firefox problem with method="get" forms and anchors. If I create a 
html page with this content:

<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
  <a name="test"></a>
  <form name="testform" action="#test" method="get">
    <input value="Update" type="submit">
  </form>
  </body>
</html>

the problem appears, too. If I remove the anchor from the action attribute or 
change the method to "post" it works like expected.

I see this as another reason for reverting the whole admin panel to POST vars, 
but perhaps I overlooked something and would like to hear your comments.
