User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030

typing javascript:alert("this is a test") into the location bar should popup an
alert dialog but it doesn't. I'm using the gtk2 build of mozilla 1.4.1. There is
an error in the javascript: console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMWindowInternal.alert]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: javascript:alert("this
is a test") :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]

This also happens with the confirm() dialog.

javascript:confirm("is this a test")


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.type javascript: into the location bar and press enter
2.type javascript: alert("this is broken") into the location bar and press enter
3.make sure you are using a gtk2 build

Actual Results:  
error in javascript console

Expected Results:  
Nice little dialogue window.. This works in galeon an epiphany btw..

it is broken.. I've also tried other gtk2 builds (1.5 etc..) It seems to be
broken in them all..
