Description
If navigation is invoked via assginment to document.location.href in a piece of script, it can have the effect that documents which are subsequently loaded do not go through XHTML validation process.
Further symptoms of this bug
Now that the source view has been implemented in standalone browser mode (as of 2.0.4), this bug also has the effect that the source view is left stuck on whichever document contained the offending piece of script.
Workaround
In order to work around this issue, the scripted assignment which causes the problem (or a call to the function in which it resides) may be placed into the onload handler of the body element. This postponement is sufficient for Sidewinder to correctly handle the navigation.
