33787 - JavaScript URL's behaving strangely

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 34217

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Shashi Narain]

Click on a link to one of the demos. You will see that a new Mozilla window 
opens containing the demo. If you return to the original Mozilla window, you 
will notice that the page is no longer there. Instead it is stark white with the 
following text:

[object Window]

What's happening here???

BTW...the links are constructed like this:

<a href="JavaScript: window.open('css/football.html');">Football World</a>

i think i'm experiencing the same bug, so i'll update here.

at this url : http://www.reel.com/reel.asp?node=offers/trivia, click on PLAY NOW
and the window will clear and the javascript url will be displayed.

I *think* this may be related to bug 34217. popup windows were not working in
this bug and as of yesterday - everything was ok - and now with today's build -
it seems that things are broken again. unforunately - my test site for the
popups (http://www.maximonline.com/girlfriend_of_day/index.asp) seems to be
locking up mozilla on load.

This is most likely a dup of 34217, marking as such, please reopen if it's not.
