Description

[James Strandboge]

It appears that cookies are not being handled properly on this page.  Opera is
able to get through the below code and display the form.

Version 0.9.9 of mozilla from Debian sid (galeon also affected).

Here are the contents of the page:

<script language="JavaScript" src="sp_common.js"></SCRIPT> <script>
window.onload = function()
		{
			var ModelId = GetCookie("SoftpaqModelId", 0);
			var OsId = GetCookie("SoftpaqOsId", 0);
			
			document.CookieForm.Model.value = ModelId;
			document.CookieForm.Os.value = OsId;
			
			document.CookieForm.submit();
		}
	</SCRIPT>
<form id="CookieForm" name="CookieForm" method="post" action="/falco/sp_list.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="Identifier" value="CookieForm" />
<input type="hidden" id="Model" name="Model"></input>
<input type="hidden" id="Os"  name="Os"></input>
<input type="hidden" id="State" name="State" value="2"></input>
</form>

Javascript console complains about two things:

Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to set property Window.openDialog
Error: GetCookie is not defined

sp_common.js attempts to define the function openDialog, which is used
internally by Mozilla.  the result is that GetCookie, defined later in the same
file is not seen, so the script embedded in the HTML doesn't work either.

We're changing things so openDialog will be redefinable.  Marking dup of the
relevant bug.
