Certain combinations of tabs and forms cause permissions to form information to
be denied to Javascript. I've tested this in Firefox, but suspect it's
applicable to other Mozilla variants as well. The bug *doesn't* happen if you
just open the quiz in a new browser window, but does happen in combination with tabs

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.livejournal.com/community/codenamehunter/17034.html
2. Open the link "What is Your Rank in the Agency?" into a new tab
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the main frame and click "Assign rank"

Actual Results:  
Javascript console reported "Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get
property NodeList.length"

Expected Results:  
Moved onwards to the results page

Works fine with SeaMonkey trunk build 2004-03-11-09.  Probably either a Firefox
bug or an extension bug (the latter is most likely if you have the mess that is
TBE installed).

Yup, got the lovely TBE installed. OTOH, I like having popup windows become
tabs, so what can you do... aside from installing the latest version of TBE,
which has fixed this bug.
