So does anybody know why page switching is implemented via onclick (not simple href) and what setTimeout is for? I could not find any explanation or comment in old commits that introduced this behaviour..

what's the point on using onclick? why not simply use href="..." instead of onclick?

sorry, i do not have any cvs version checked out. i just check the html code in my browser generated by mldonkey and find out (guess) that it's that script was wrong.

window.location.href = '..' is executed immediately when i click and the url is right. but after 500 ms, the setTimeout function is executed which load the wrong window.location.href, because window.location.href won't be updated until page is loaded. window.location.href is always the current document url even you set it to something else.

and i used firefox + firebug extension and IE + httpwatch, both show me that mldonkey web try to load the expected url at first (request 1), but is aborted later because the unexpected url is requested instead (request 2).

and btw, i do not know why the setTimeout is needed anyway. ff/ie/opera don't need it afaik, is it for other browsers?

So the problem is the timeout, which is longer than the time it
takes to display the MLDonkey webpage on a remote machine?

Could you provide a patch against MLDonkey CVS with your suggested fixes?

oops, i forgot to mention. i'm accessing mldonkey via http to a remote server instead of a local one, and loading the web takes more than 500ms

Wed 26 Dec 2007 02:56:30 PM UTC, original submission:  

click: options (same as clicking options -> settings -> clients, as which is default)
and i can see
"Client Ports html Delays Files Mail Net Misc changed All"
there're only a few options which belongs to "Client" group

problem: when i click "Ports", "html" or whatever except "All", i see exact options that belongs to "Client" not "Ports" group. and the frame url is always http://host/submit?q=voo+1 (unexpected), while it should be http://host/submit?q=voo+2 or so (expected)

suggested fix:

find onclick="javascript:window.location.href='submit?q=voo+2';setTimeout('window.location.replace(window.location.href)',500)" and remove setTimeout('window.location.replace(window.location.href)',500), do it all for voo+1 voo+3 voo+4 etc

or replace it with
onclick="javascript:var href ='submit?q=voo+2';window.location.href=href;setTimeout(function(){window.location.replace(href)},500)"
