           Summary: Add a layout test to verify popup properties while
                    they're opening
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: pam at chromium.org


Different browsers return different things for the properties of a popup window
while the window is opening. In particular, the behavior of window.location,
window.href, and window.pathname vary.  

The Selenium web app test system -- http://selenium.openqa.org -- depends on
this behavior.

When running the attached test, popup.location reports as follows:

Safari ToT: location: /
Firefox: location: about:blank
Chrome: location: about:blank
IE7: location: file:///C:/<path to>/fast/dom/Window/resources/destination.html

My goal is to contribute all of Chromium's new layout tests promptly for
everyone's benefit, so even if it's decided that WebKit will change its
behavior, I'd still vote for submitting the attached files as they are for now,
filing a new bug, and updating the result when it changes.
