When connecting to the webserver embedded in a Brocade FibreChannel Switch (a
Silkworm 3200 distributed by HP, Fabric OS v3.0.2f), some windows remain empty.
Examining the details, it turn out that some JavaScript triggers an error. The
code is like this:

newWin=window.open(...);
newWin.localtion.href = url;

The device URL is
http://switch_name/openwin.html?openurl=switch_ip/SwitchManager.html,wintitle=some_text,width=665,
height=230

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Connect to a Brocade Silkwork 3200.
Click on the switch icon displayed on the start screen.
Actual Results:  
An empty window pops up.

Expected Results:  
A window with visible content should pop up.

The problem may be a JavaScript programming error on the server side. Maybe a
future version of mozilla could have some visible clue that a page had a
JavaScript error, or maybe just open the JavaScript Console for the first error.
