0. Start the JavaScript Console
1. open http://www.e-domizil.de/frontend/index.cfm?language=gb
2. go to Advanced search
3. cut and paste the source to a editor displaying lines
4. for e.g. see the first warning "assignment to undeclared variable laender" -
 states line 474 (html part) but i see the undefinded variable in line 503 
(javascript part)

Probably bug 137315.

In any case, the JS console just reports whatever the JS engine tells it, so
this is a bug in either the parser or the JS engine; a minimal testcase is
needed to tell for sure.

Two things. This WFM with Mozilla 1.5a official downloaded (not built on my PC)
release. Also, I agree that this might be a dup of Bug #137315, however, with my
statement about 1.5a, marking WFM.

Oh, and I'm running Win XP for testing this.
