12472 - Frame can't access parent variables or functions

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Syd Logan]

I removed my mozregistry.dat file, and restarted. I get the 'Create Profile
Wizard', and when I hit the "next" button, I get the following:

...

Note: frameverifytree is disabled
Note: verifyreflow is disabled
DocLoaderFactory: Unable to create ContentViewer for command=view, content-type=
(null)
Error: Can't load: file:///C|/raptor/mozilla/dist/WIN32_D.OBJ/bin/res/profile/un
defined (8000ffff)

This looks like it's probably a JS error in the wizard...

Fixing summary to reflect problem.

Comment 3

The symptom of loading a page called "undefined" is caused by the attempt to
access a variable from the parent frame as in "var count = parent.count;" which
is returning the value "undefined".

Working around this particular dependency by removing the parent reference just
leads down the path to where we need to call a function in the parent frame and
it's not accessible either.

Not exactly sure which side of the fence this is on...

This prevents the profile manager wizards from working at all.  Marking blocker.

Norris, do you know where this should land?

(reassigning, so it doesn't sit with me another week while I'm away :( )

This doesn't sound like it's related to security. Much more likely DOM.

reassigning QA contact, not an install or profile issue

Comment 9

Moving to M12.

Moving off M12 radar for the time being. One or more might get back once I get a
chance to really look at them.

This no longer seems to be an issue, so I'm guessing it was addressed somewhere
along the way
