22835 - unable to capture Event.Resize

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect, P3)

Description

I've written a dHTML page that is viewable in both Netscape 4.x and IE in
Windows. However, it has never worked correctly in Linux. I've had innumerable
reports from users of the site about it. The most recent is for the M12
browser. This is an excerpt from the mail the user sent to me:

> I am using M12 now, but when I used to use M3-10
> http://www.skapunx.net would crash mozilla, but now it just reports a
> javascript error:
>
> JavaScript Error: can't convert Event.Resize to an integer
> URL: http://www.skapunx.net/
> LineNo: 55

> JavaScript Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Parameter is not a

> Line: 55"]

The line (or lines) that is (are) causing the bug are as follows:

  window.captureEvents(Event.Resize);
  window.onresize = position;

After looking at the netscape developer page for JavaScript, I noticed that in
the example it gave, the event name was actually Event.RESIZE, so I have since
changed it. It's my understanding, however, that that should not matter.

JavaScript is a case sensitive language, so Event.Resize and Event.RESIZE are
not the same thing.

Marking INVALID.
