156776 - javascript:URLS cause nsIChannel.asyncOpen errors in Venkman

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Venkman JS Debugger, defect)

Description

[Phil Schwartau]

Reported by [e-mail] in bug 156520 at the site
http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/07/09/texas.floods/index.html:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When a newWindow is opened via a click, and a focus method is applied to the
new window object, the behavior works correctly on the initial load -
the newWindow takes focus.

If the user goes back to the parent page, and clicks again on the windowOpen
link (ending in a focus method), the window focus fails (ie, it does not come
forward).

Script performs multiple subsequent focus methods correctly in IE.
In Mozilla 1.0, the new window does not take focus on subsequent clicks.

As sample, this URL produces the following messages in JS Debugger:

Similarly constructed javascript at this URL provides a similar error display in
the Mozilla JS Debugger:

Are these errors in JS Debugger or a broken focus method in the Mozilla JS
implementation?"

Downloaded the latest Venkman from http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/venkman/

Using a trunk Mozilla build 20020715 on WinNT -
