(Whiteboard: is this fixed now?)
Version: Seamonkey
Program: Viewer.exe
BuildID: mar_180610
Platform: WinNT
The JavaScript alert command is not opening any dialog box.
I've noticed it sends output to console. This failure possibly happens on other
platforms.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an HTML file with the following content:
<html>
<head>
<title>MyPage</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
alert("Alert dialog opened");
</script>
</body>
</html>
2. Load that file in the browser
Actual Results: No dialog box is opened.
Expected Results: A dialog containing the "Alert dialog opened" string.

The described failure applies to Apprunner also. Apprunner doesn't display any
output to the console. Severity changed to Major.

I just commited changes so that prompt() and confirm() are also defined (alert()
has been for a while). All of these calls get sent up to the implementor of
nsINetSupport. This is currently in browser land. The plumbing on the JS side
exists. It's up to one of Don's people to hook up the UI.

The problem is that if I make the webshell window impliment the NetSuport
interface ( which I did in the past ), the dialogs don't load. I don't know why
but until necko lands I really don't want to look into it.

This is a stopper for people writing JavaScript and using alert() for debugging.
I suspect they can use dump() in the interim, but it would be great to at least
have alert() write out to the console as it does in Viewer.

I checked in the code to hook up the UI. There are still problems in that you are
unable to bring up the dialog from certain points in the code but I believe I
have bugs on most of them

Re-tested on 07/28 build. A dialog box opens now but the alert msg is not being
displayed. A dialog box containing the "Alert dialog opened" string is expected.
Bug reopened.

The dialogs should come up. However they will not be modal until after danm
fixes 11611 so Confirm and Prompt will not return correct values.
