I get this uncaught exception in the js console, while hovering in and out of
the link that will be given in the testcase, after firefox begins receiving the
data for the page linked to.

Reproducible: Always

Just follow the directions the link gives you, then have a look in your js
console (if you have the web dev bar, you'll quickly be able to see if the js
console picks up the exception).

Yes, if you try to do something in Javascript that you're not allowed to do, it
throws an exception, and if you don't catch the exception, you get this type of
error.  Are you trying to say that you should be able to set this property?  If
so, this bug is misfiled, but if its blocked already, its most likely by design.

If this works in 1.0, please file a bug about not being able to set this
property via JS against the appropriate CSS/DOM component.  But this seems
invalid as reported.

Yes, I'm saying you should be allowed to do this. If the next page wants to take
its time loading, why should the page that is still up not have js functions
allowed such as this one (setting a color on a link)?

Is this still a problem in current builds (ones that splitwindow has landed in)?
 I can't seem to reproduce....

I can't reproduce it either anymore.
