#24836 closed defect (bug) (wontfix)

WordPress database setup error does not preserve input with "try again" when no-js

Description

When setting up Wordpress and entering the database credentials and the setup communicates an error condition back it offers as well a "Try again" button.

Pressing that button does *not* try again. It offers the input form with all user-entered values deleted.

Instead of deleting those values, the previous user-entered data should be given after pressing that "Try again" button.

Could not reproduce.

The button onclick event is history.go(-1), so clicking the button is the same as clicking browser's Back button: tags/3.5.2/wp-admin/setup-config.php#L169.

Were you testing with JavaScript or browser cache disabled, perhaps?

Obviously no client-side ECMA scripting enabled, yes.

I also could not reproduce using exact same steps. It shows original inputs after hitting 'Try Again'

It shows original inputs after hitting 'Try Again'

And that's the bug hakre mentions here.

The back button was introduced in[20661].

I do think this is a invalid/wontfix issue. At the least, a now-duplicate of #24982

Initial bug is that, It doesn't try again, it offers the form pre-filled again.

It's browser's that control if the form is re-filled, the Try Again button is the same as the back button, Some clients will re-fill the content, some will clear it (may depend on HTTPS, and other factors).
