<html> <body onload="javascript: status='hello'"> <h1>test</h1> </body> </html> expect status message to appear ... but: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception...

Browser, not engine. Reassigning to Browser-General until we can get more information. Sean, what build ID of Mozilla are you using? Please include that in any bug report. Also, do you have any preferences set in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Scripts&Windows ? Note that one checkbox allows webpages to change status bar text. If you don't have that checked, you would get an error like the one you describe. See bug 117707, 'Disabling "Change status bar text" and/or "Cookie" prefs for JS breaks applications' ...

Summary: settting staus="somevalue" causes uncaught exception → settting staus="somevalue" causes uncaught exception
When I try the above testcase with WinNT and Linux builds from 2002-03-04, I get no error in the JS Console. On the other hand, I don't see "hello" in the status bar, either -
sorry using: Mozilla 0.9.8 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020205 ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.8/Red_Hat_7x_RPMS/i386/ hmm.. I thought bugzilla had grabbed that already ... yup "Change staus bar text" was unchecked and if I do window.status="hello";alert('hello'); I get the nicer console message Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to set property Window.status. but the alert is still not fired. unchecking that box does let the script execute as expected. well, almost - I see the alert box *before* the status message is set.
Sean: OK, thanks. If I understand you correctly, then, this is a duplicate of bug 117707. You will be cc'ed on that one, so you can follow its progress - *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 117707 ***
