Clicking on edit in my.myway.com should result in opening new page, but all I
see is text in browser window: http://my.myway.com/
and text in adress bar:

Reproducible: Always

1.visit my.myway.com
2. click on edit button that appears in the page


Actual Results:  
the page did not open

Expected Results:  
open customization page.

Not JS engine -- JS has no concept of a "document"; that's a DOM thing.

There is no such button; I assume you have to sign in to get it....

Are there errors in the JS console?

No you don't have to sign in - just look inside web page. You can find titles
like My news, or My weather, My sports etc. and just next to these titles
there's the small box edit (it is graphical element - I guess that misunderstood
was because I've called it button). Clicking on it within Mozilla Firebird 0.6
will result in what I've described.

Important notice: clicking on link edit next to My Page (it is textual element)
will not result in any error.

> Are there errors in the JS console?
No, no errors

I went to http://my.myway.com, then click the edit button on the right of My
Horoscope and landed in 
http://registration.myway.com/login.jsp?return_url=http://my.myway.com/editHO.jsp
in the same window which is the "My Way - Sign In" document. That new url was
successfully loaded into the same window. I am convinced an user first must be
registered and must have signed in before he can customize, configure the layout
(which panels he wants or not) of the home page. Basically, yahoo.com (and many
portails) have the same configuration abilities.
I tested with Mozilla 1.6 build 20030113 and Firebird 0.7 rv1.5 build 20031007
under XP Pro SP1 here and got the same result.

Issue was related to previous version of Firebird (0.6) wich was actual version
when I reported the bug. I would like to confirm that bug is fixed in new
version of Firebird (and I have never detected it in Mozilla).

Ivan, if you have other bugs, UNCONFIRMED ones, which are now no longer
displaying a problem, then please resolve them accordingly. There are people who
are tracking UNCONFIRMED bugfiles, investigating them, spending time, writing
comments, etc.. and such time would then be better spent if these people would
only have to investigate real UNCONFIRMED ones. I lost my time here, you see.
Thanks for your understanding here.
