Looks like the included JS isn't getting executed.  It only sniffs for NS 4, but
changing that didn't produce better results.

The script is executing. The error occurs because of the newly defined  
"content" property on the Window interface (see 
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/dom/public/idl/base/Window.idl#12). The 
property was defined by danm and has something to do with dialogs from what I 
can tell. Dan, you're going to have to change the name of the property so we 
don't have conflicts - a mixed case name might help prevent conflicts in the 
future. 

Marking beta1 since this is a fairly major site.

Putting on PDT+ radar for beta1.

Vidur plans a much more awesome and general solution than my intended one-
property specialization, so he gets to hold onto this one.

Fixed on 2/22/2000. Marked window.sidebar, content and controllers with the new 
keyword "replaceable".
