Description

[Ben Combee (:bcombee)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

On the linked page, if you enter text into the field and hit enter, you'll get
an exception message on the Javascript Console, and after you dismiss the alert,
the form is reset.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the page http://combee.net/bugs/moz_bug_1.html
2. enter "test" into the box and hit enter

Actual Results:  
alert appears with "tset", form is reset back to default values, exception
report in JS console

Expected Results:  
alert should appear with "tset", nothing should crash or get reset

This is the error message on my system:

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 ::
