194362 - crashes when <select> box is disabled for second time!?! [@ JS_HashString]

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 171949

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jeremy Hartley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

This error occured in a fairly complicated situation using a lot of frames and
remote scripting. When a <select> box has the disabled property set to true for
the second time the browser crashes. 

It is not possible to provide all the code necessary to reproduce this example,
since you would require circa 20 files and a couple of servers just to get the
situation up and running, however this is the code fragment that did the damage:

if (control = parent.CONTENT.document.content.elements[fieldid]) {			
	if (control.className != "label"){
		var bDisable = 	statusSettings[content].readonly;														
		control.disabled = bDisable;
	}
}

The control was contained in a form called content on a Frame called content.
The original html code which generated on a server, is passed to a data frame,
which places it in the content frame using the .innerHTML property.

The sequence in which the crash occured is as follows. When the new page is
loaded into the content frame, the <select> boxes .disabled property is set to
true. Later the disabled property is set to false. Finally it is set to true
again and at this point on the execution of:

control.disabled = bDisable;

Mozilla crashes.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I have tried to make a simple page which reproduces this problem, however in the
simple case it always works fine. I can not provide the full code since it is
too large and the system is not operational.

I have however reproduced this problem on a Windows 2000 machine using both
Mozilla 1.2.1 and Mozilla 1.3b

Actual Results:  
The browser crashes

Expected Results:  
Diable the control

look at this, don´t know if it is a testcase for this bug, but it is simple, and
crashing on Win98

Recent Mozilla builds seem to crash when you click three times on one of the
anchors. Link:

Older ones don't seem to work.
Seems to happen only in combination with position:absolute and input type=file.

Looks like this is bombing when XPConnect tries to create a new JSObject for a
wrapper. Crashes in JS_HashString from the venkman hooks
