(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Dainius Daujotas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040921
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040921

I can't create any element from external javascript with encoding other than
ISO-8859-1. I think browser loads script's and ignore character encoding.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create javascript file with function (alert or create label ....) and user in
strings with other tan ISO-8859-1 charset
2. Create xul file with call to that function


Actual Results:  
Displays characters in iso-8859-1 encoding

Expected Results:  
Lithuanian characters in label and alert

yep, the testcase here now works correctly with the patch from bug 241739
(although it was at first a bit hard to tell for me that the output is the
expected one :-) )
