Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 264162

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Error Console, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/312.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/312.6

Sorry if this has been reported but there are so many bugs containing the text "Error in parsing value for property" that it's impossible to see whether you have addressed this.

Error in parsing value for property 'xxx' displays an error in the JS console.  Can't this be some kind of warning instead?  It's very difficult to debug an application that has real problems when other windows are contributing errors constantly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I think
2. You know
3. what I'm talking about

if there's an application that doesn't generate at least one of these "Error in parsing value for property 'xxx'" errors, my hat is off to them.  squirrelmail bites me constantly because it's always refreshing its left-hand pane.  go to cnn to see an example of this if you don't have one already.

Actual Results:  
Error: Unknown property 'filter'.  Declaration dropped.

Expected Results:  
I wish this was a WARNING instead

It is (resp. will be in Firefox 2).
