223965 - JSCRIPT errors on URL that otherwise works with (surprise!) IE

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ira Goldstein]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

This page looks wrong in Mozilla. Other browsers display it correctly. You wuz
robbed.  I can't imagine thay anyone at MS would write a JSCRIPT that didn't
work with Mozilla on purpose.  But it does point to a differnce.

Error:

Microsoft JScript runtime  error '800a1391'

'oXmlSearchResults' is undefined

/technet/security/search/IncludeFiles/search_codeBase_dl.inc, line 268

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL
2. Look at screen
3. Take a deep sigh
Actual Results:  
Get the following error:
Microsoft JScript runtime  error '800a1391'

'oXmlSearchResults' is undefined

/technet/security/search/IncludeFiles/search_codeBase_dl.inc, line 268

That's an error from the server itself.
I don't think we can do something  here...

Are you saying that the server is generating errors based upon the browser?  The
page appears to work ok using IE.

start the JavaScript console from Tools->Web Development, and you´ll see a lot
of warnings, 10 about undefined document.layers, 8 about redefined variables, 2
about assignments to undeclared variables, and one error:

Warning: reference to undefined property document.layers
Source File:
http://www.microsoft.com/library/shared/deeptree/asp/leftframe.asp?stcfg=/technet/treeview/searchtabconfig.xml&dtcfg=/technet/treeview/deeptreeconfig.xml&url=/technet/security/Currentdl.asp?frame=true
Line: 42

Error: missing ( before formal parameters
Source File: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Currentdl.asp?frame=true
Line: 396, Column: 16
Source Code:
 function window.onload() { SetServicePack(); }

document.layers is Netscape 4, and can be tried while doing browsersniffing, I
didn´t check. Doing it 8 times doesn´t seem to be necessary, besides telling all
Netscape users to up- or downgrade to NS 4.7

That page loaded alright for me in the 20031029 Firebird nightly. I did get one
console error:

Error: missing ( before formal parameters
Source File: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Currentdl.asp?frame=true
Line: 404, Column: 16
Source Code:
 function window.onload() { SetServicePack(); }

But nothing resembling the reported bug. Perhaps MS actually fixed their site?
