180281 - Javascript error on b.m.o - document.forms.f.id is null or not an object

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Malcolm Rowe]

I can't believe no one has reported this yet, so perhaps this is a duplicate.

As mentioned in bmo-regressions (bug 179176), the QuickSearch form has been 
commented out (bug 179500), but the code to focus the textbox remains.  Every 
visitor to b.m.o gets a Javascript error, which (for most IE users) results in 
an alert popup - very annoying.

Of course, when QuickSearch is reinstated on b.m.o, this bug will become 
irrelevant, but until then, it's very annoying.

Original report from bug 179176:

More on Javascript problem.

Cause:

The form 'f' has been commented out.  Thus, there is no form element to take 
focus.
