131908 - Spurious error dialog when Javascript:function() url used

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 131399

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[tfarrell]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.9+)
Gecko/20020318
BuildID:    2002031815

In the page at http://www.tomfarrell.org/ , the menu contains a number of links,
all of which have a url in the form "Javascript:myFunction('foo')". In previous
builds of Mozilla and Netscape 6.2, these links function perfectly. In the
reported build, when any of the links are clicked an error dialog appears which
reads, "An unknown error occurred while attempting to load the requested page."
The Javascript function then runs perfectly without waiting for the dialog to be
closed.

The error should not occur, as nothing is wrong.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://www.tomfarrell.org/
2.Point at the menu with the mouse pointer to open the menu.
3.Click on any link in the menu or submenus, such as (for example) "Border
Collies" under the "Interests" submenu. This should trigger the spurious error.

Actual Results:  The Javascript function specified in the HREF ran as designed
and an error dialog appears which reads, "An unknown error occurred while
attempting to load the requested page."

Expected Results:  The Javascript function should have run in the same manner,
but the error dialog should not have appeared.
