324771 - MerkurDirekt.com displays multiple uncaught exceptions regarding HTMLDocument.write

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: German, defect)

Description

[Greg K.]

On attempting to use the online store MerkurDirekt.com, multiple uncaught exceptions are displayed on the JavaScript Console with the explanation, "Permission denied to get property HTMLDocument.write".

Steps to reproduce:
1. Access the URL
2. Enter 1010 in the "Postleitzahl" (post code) field in the right-side frame
3. Click "Zum Shop"

Actual results:
Next page repeatedly attempts to load, displays uncaught exception on JavaScript console, and repeats indefinitely.

Expected results:
Successful page load.

Note that if page load is stopped, then reloaded, page loads successfully. However, the problem recurrs later in the shopping process, specifically at check-out time.

I'm not sure if this is really Evangelism or at all related to bug 166328 or bug 196189, which also mention HTMLDocument.write. Bug 184884 results in being unable to determine the line number generating the exception.

Problem reproduced using FF 1.5 on Win and Mac as well as Camino 1.0b2, so All/All.

I received an e-mail response from the company. Apparently they are aware of and working to rectify the problem.

No longer evident (and URL no longer exists).
