Details

If you name the window you are opening something other than "_blank", and try to open it again, she core dumps. For example, if i call the window "win1", it will launch the first time. If i call the same function again while the window is open and use the same name, we die miserably. window.openDialog( "chrome://navigator/content/", "win1", "chrome,all,dialog=no"+args, url );
I can't reproduce the crash on win95, but I know there is a problem in this area -- see bug #25040. (Say Pete -- do you have a small test case that crashes, by any chance).

Can't reproduce. My test case: <html><body> <button type=button onclick="window.openDialog('chrome://navigator/ content','win1','chrome,all,dialog=no')">Open Named Window</button> </body></html> does show a different distressing regression, that an attempt to open a named window won't find an extant window with the same name but will instead make a brand new window. (I tried this on redhat linux 6.0 and Windows NT 2000, with a build made from today's source.) But that's a different bug. My guess is the problem you're noticing has something to do with some of those other unspecified parameters hinted at in the original bug writeup.

var width="400"; var height="400"; var x="10"; var y="10"; var args = "width="+width+",height="+height+",screenX="+x+",screenY="+y; window.openDialog( "chrome://navigator/content/", "_blank", "chrome,all,dialog=no"+args, url ); danm, this is the actual code, i just filled in the variable values for now. If this runs for you, then i guess it is fixed in the current builds. pete
Well I tried that (still don't know what "url" is; I just give it something in an http://) and still didn't crash, but did notice that the size and position parameters seem to be ignored. &#@"$^#(#& #*&# "# #<"#$(#&$#@ ##.
Ok, Dan. I guess it is fixed now. I will reopen this bug if i run into any problems again. Thanks pete
