168073 - Links (and probably text also) not visibles

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 154338

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Legrand]

All the links on the left side of the page, which are visible with Netscape 6.2
FR beta and IE from µ$oft are not visible with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; fr-FR; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
This happends each time.
those links are also not visible in the source page when using mozilla OR
netscape, then, it is probably a javascript bug, because those invisible links
are present in the file located at http://fr.toyota.be/menu/menuArray.js
the var jsMenu is declared in the html page, but filled in menuArray.js

Then, when back in the html page, there is a javascript test:
if(initMenu!=null) {
	if(jsMenu!=null) {
           ....


Unfortunately my knowledge of javascript ins't good enough to go further...

There is an error "out of memory" reported in the JS Console with mozilla 1.0,
and the links on the left hand side do not appear.

However there is no error, and the links appear, with mozilla1.0.1 and a 
current trunk build.

So, this is apparently fixed, but I'd sleep better if Phil (or someone in JS)
could point to what in particular was fixed (since the 'out of memory' error
is a little odd/troubling).

just to help : javascript is enabled and can do every thing in mozilla except
opening a new windows while loading a page.

best reguards

This was bug 154338 (against JS Engine):
"garbage string (length 0x40008001) as argv[0] in array_join"

That bug, coincidentally filed against http://www.toyota.de,
caused JS "out of memory" errors on certain calls to Array.join().

It was resolved on 2002-07-02, when the fix was checked into
the trunk and the 1.0 branch for Mozilla 1.0.1.

Note certain array joins used at the current site may be seen at
http://fr.toyota.be/shared/menu/toyota/menu.js

I'm going to go ahead and mark this as a duplicate of bug 154338 -

Marking Verified Duplicate

As John points out, there should no longer be any problem at
this site with a current trunk build or with Mozilla 1.0.1.

Legrand : please reopen this bug if the bug still occurs
with an up-to-date build. Thank you for using Mozilla!
