Text field has an onKeyUp trigger: onKeyUp='typeFetch(this)'. When this event fires it generates an "absurd" error in the Javascript console: <<< Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to set property XULElement.selectedIndex' when calling method: [nsIAutoCompletePopup::selectedIndex]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: http://localhost:8080/hck/servlet/com.ZType :: typeFetch :: line 98" data: no] Source File: http://localhost:8080/hck/servlet/com.ZType Line: 98 >>> I suspect that MY onKeyUp function interferes with the one that deals with the select field. I do NOT see this error in InternetExplorer/ Netscape7.2 ... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

The following comment is from the reporter who emailed me directly:
Dear steve.england
I dont want to blame you, but I still cant stand your request, because this bug costed me a day of my life ....
Below the ludicrously simple code::
<soapbox on>
I like to hate the garbage from MS.
I reported earlier a Netscape/ Mozilla/ Firefox bug that has been bothering me for years: when getting out of hibernation these browsers too often go into infinite loops, which has costed me days of my life. Plenty of others have complained about it. Nothings gets done about it ...
And consider the horrendous memory leaks in FireFox: closing tabs/ closing windows does NOT release gobbled up memory ....
Then there is this religion called "open source"/ "extreme programming"/ "agile programming". All BULL ...
Please have a look at my: Dennis de Champeaux, "Software Engineering Considered Harmful", CACM, vol 45, no 11, pp 102-4, 2002 November.
I suggest that you folks do the right thing:
- Do a clean architecture using OOA/ UML
- Implement the top components in Java so that you get garbage collection for free
- Actually implement everything in Java, profile to identify performance bottlenecks and replace these with tightly controlled C-code <soapbox off>
Have a nice day ....
Here the code:::::
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>c:/ddc/Html/onkeyup.html</TITLE>
<script language="JavaScript">
function testEvent() {
alert('whatever');
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY><font Color="#850a0a">
To obtain this <b>STUPID</b> bug:<br>
Type any character in the text box and you find in the javascript
console the error listed below ... UGH
<p>
<FORM>
<select name="symptoms" >
<option value="ignore">IGNORE</option>
</select>
<p>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="userInput" SIZE="100" VALUE="" onKeyUp='testEvent()' >
</FORM>
<pre>
Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to set property
XULElement.selectedIndex'
when calling method: [nsIAutoCompletePopup::selectedIndex]"
nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"
location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/ddc/Html/onkeyup.html :: testEvent :: line 4" data:
no]
Source File: file:///C:/ddc/Html/onkeyup.html
Line: 4
</pre>
This bug is caused when the OK button is released in the alert box
... UGH UGH
</BODY>

This might be a dupe of bug 236791 (which was fixed in Firefox 2.0 and beyond).

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a4pre) Gecko/20070422 Minefield/3.0a4pre WFM on trunk and Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Windows, too. I confirmed that Joey's patch in bug 236791 did indeed fix this. Duping...
