From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID: 20010726
I am opening a new window and writing html to it. The html should create a
page with 2 blank frames. The page is then closed. Then I try to write to the
document of one of those frames, but I get an error message saying the document
has no properties as soon as I try to call the document.open() function.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.I'll give code below.
2.
3.
Actual Results: I got the error "d has no properties". d is a variable that
describes a newly created document in a frame.
Expected Results: Opened the document.
Here's part of the code. This is in a function. There is a global variable
called ReportWin. It will stop running and give the message on the third to
last line...the d.open statement when d is ReportWin.top.contents.document.
if ((ReportWin == null) || (ReportWin.closed)) {
ReportWin = open("", rtitle, "status,scrollbars,resizable");
}
else
ReportWin.focus();
var str = "";
var d = ReportWin.document;
d.open('text/html');
d.writeln('<head><title>' + globalData.pubcode + ' Report
Menu</title></head>');
d.writeln("<frameset framespacing='1' frameborder='0' cols='192,*'>");
d.writeln("<frame name='contents' target='main' src='about:blank'
scrolling='no' noresize>");
d.writeln("<frame name='main' src='about:blank' scrolling='auto'>");
d.writeln("<noframes><body><p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't
support them.");
d.writeln("</body></noframes></frameset>");
d.close();
var d = ReportWin.top.contents.document;
d.open('text/html');
str = "<head><title>" + pubname + " Reports</title></head>";
d.writeln('<body bgcolor="blue" text="white" link="yellow" vlink="azure">');

Browser, not engine --> DOM Level 0. brianchi73@telocity.com: 1. Could you try a more recent build? Yours is rather old. New builds are actually made every day, and can be downloaded from the ftp sites. See: http://www.mozilla.org/download-mozilla.html (general download info) http://www.mozilla.org/binaries.html (where the nightly binaries are) http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/ (where the latest builds are) 2. If the problem has gone away, please resolve this bug as "WORKSFORME" with the option buttons above. 3. If the problem is still there, please attach a reduced HTML testcase via the "Create a new attachment" link above - thanks.

Unfortunately I cannot try a new build because I'm testing Netscape 6.1. When I try to get support for that...it always leads me to the Gecko engine, and the latest build from Netscape is 20010726. I have, however, created a test file that works in IE 5.0, Netscape 4.76 and fails in Netscape 6.1 with a javascript error.

The reason the testcase doesn't work is that Mozilla/Netscape6x doesn't synchronously create a document in frames, the document of a frame/iframe will be null until the document in the frame/iframe is done loading. And even loading about:blank takes a little time. This is a dup, but I don't have the other bug number handy right now.
