Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[George Adeff]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

This intranet application was designed around IE5.0. I could open some portions
of it with Netscape.  With Firefox I get a blank page.  The JavaScript console
has the following errors:
Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to get property
XULElement.selectedIndex' when calling method:
[nsIAutoCompletePopup::selectedIndex]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "JS frame ::

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sign on to intranet appliction
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
blank screen and lower left corner says "Done"

Expected Results:  
opened up the application

I know this is an intranet application that may never be able to work with a
browser other than IE.  I am not a "power user"; my son introduced me to Firefox
and it has many features I prefer to IE.  So if the above information helps
someone make Firefox useable for this type of application, please do so.  I will
gladly try out anything that is suggested to me to see if potential solutions
indeed work.
