BuildID:    2002020406

Above URL presents some search function, when the button is pressed, nothing
happens; no wonder, obviously some proprietary function "SetOkCode" is used (IE
5.x seems to have it)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to the above URL
2. enter some search term right to "Produktsuche"
3. click on the binocular

Actual Results:  nothing ;-)

Expected Results:  after some while search results should appear on the lower
right frame.

the link is <a href="javascript:SetOkCode('global_search','searchText','','')"
onmouseover="status='Los!'; return true;"    onmouseout="status=' '; return true;">

???? never seen that before....

Confirming bug using Mozilla trunk binary 2002051408 on WinNT.
When I load this site, I see numerous errors in the JavaScript Console:

When I load again using exception and error tracing in the

The "illegal character" error is occurring on the last line of
the file, somewhere after the last closing brace "}". I've never
seen this type of problem before. 

Furthermore, when I save locally the file
  http://www.conradcom.de/sap/its/mimes/zprt_con_glb/99/script/bbpscript.js,
I can load it just fine in the JavaScript shell or in a local HTML page.

Therefore, let me reassign this to the Networking component.
Do your logs show what this character is? It looks like it might
be the last character in the bbpscript.js file -(?)

Also, cc'ing rginda for his Venkman expertise. Can I do more
in Venkman to see what the above getter/setter error is,
or what the illegal character is?

mass futuring of untargeted bugs

I get the same error but SetOkCode is replaced with frmNota. frmNota is an HTML
form defined in the page http://www.infobae.com/interior/home.html, there is a
script tag in that page that source ../js/publico.js wherein is defined a
function called MostrarNota (To Show a News) that reference the form. This
function is called, assigning values to the form and submiting it when a link is
clicked.
The same behaviour is obtained, that is the new page with the news wanted is not
called, using Mozilla and netscape in linux and netscape in windows, the
MSexplorer in windows works ok.
I'm using Mozilla 1.0 Release Candidate 3 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686;
en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523

Sorry, the problem that I jast told is solved adding the word "document." (that
is the object from where the form was derivated) before the name of the form.
The explorer and Netscape 6 work like if "document." were there.

The SetOKCode() function that's failing (see top of this report) is in:
http://www.conradcom.de/sap/its/mimes/zprt_con_glb/99/script/bbpscript.js,
which had those "illegal character" errors above.

Because of these errors, the file is not loading properly, and so 
the SetOKCode() function never gets loaded. That's why it doesn't work
in Mozilla.

We still need to identify what the "illegal character" is, in order
to solve this bug -

Comment 8

[Florian Leeber]

Update: The behaviour has changed a bit with the latest builds, that means the
error message has changed now. Also if I click on the search button, thus
triggering the broken function, the mozilla icon starts to spin for 1/10 sec and
then stops doing nothing. I made a wget on the file and noticed non-ASCII
characters on the end (approx. 4 lines of dots when viewed with editor).
Could someone make a hex dump of the file and scan for non-ASCII?
Probably the illegal character stop should be downgraded to a warning so that
execution can continue

A similar error occurs when usinf Windows XP. On www.ntlworld.com the top line
(Home, Chanels, Services, Help, Broadband) should give a drop down menu on a
mouseover. Instead nothing appears and the JavaScript Console gives an error -
OAS_RICH is not defined. It works fine using IE on a mac and a PC and using Opera.

-> back to javascript.

Unless I've overlooked something, HTTP is just going to stream data to
javascript. If JavaScript hickups, that is either an exception handling problem
for the engine, or a content problem w/ the web server.
