When I visit the above site, I get the following in the Javascript Console and
no menus. Using Phoenix from 12/10/02 works fine.

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIDOMNSHTMLElement.innerHTML]" nsresult:
"0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)" location: "JS frame ::
http://www.dhtmlcentral.com/projects/coolmenus/examples/coolmenus4.js ::
cm_divCreate :: line 102" data: no]

I didn't see anything off hand in Bugzillz regarding this. Any ideas what might
have been checked in to break this?

This is a blocker for me as I use this menu for a work project..

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the url
2. Witness error in javascript console
3. Witness missing menu

Actual Results:  
no menu, error in javascript

Expected Results:  
menu, no error

This was working in 121002 but not in today's..

Not sure of the correct component to investigate this, but it's not
JavaScript Engine. JS Engine contains no browser or DOM objects, just
abstract ones like String(), Number(), Date(), RegExp(), etc.

Reassigning to DOM Level 0 for further triage -

Fallout from bug 183999. I backed out the error.

This looks fixed now.
