305104 - NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED when changing iframe location immediately after creation

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 304882

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Ben Basson]

When creating and appending a new iframe using JavaScript, the location cannot
be immediately set after creation with 20050817, but can with 20050816. The
error thrown to the JavaScript console is:

Error: [Exception... "Component not initialized"  nsresult: "0xc1f30001
(NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED)"  location: "JS frame ::
file:///C:/Desktop/testcase.html :: runTestcase :: line 14"  data: no]
Source File: file:///C:/Desktop/testcase.html
Line: 14

I'll attach a testcase and a workaround shortly. This is probably something that
should be fixed, since I can imagine this being used in real-world situations.
CC'ing jst because of probable relation to the split window feature.

Nominating 1.8b4. Although there's an easy workaround, this probably breaks some
websites and probably shouldn't.

I bet this will be fixed by bug 304882. Duping.
