Fire a progress event named event. thanks for pointing that out; however, I see this does not use the formulaic language that is used in other event firing cases; namely, one of: (1) fire an event named X (2) fire a progress event named X for consistency, I would suggest changing the text to use one of the above forms 65298 3 glenn 2012-03-10 19:17:15 +0000 It does use the "fire a progress event" algorithm; it's right there in step 9. 9. Fire a progress event named event. where "event" is the parameter to the "request error" algorithm (eg. "error", "abort" or "timeout"). 65327 4 annevk 2012-03-11 17:04:58 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 16306 ***
