45364 - Java-script serious problems!

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect, P3)

Description

[ZaZy]

I'm testing Mozilla M17 on a linux OS. I've connected to the linux system using
an Unix platform and an external DISPLAY environment variable. While visiting a
site like www.myspace.com, after executed the first javascript procedure,
browser functionality dramatically reduced. By choosing edit->preferences, the
browser jams!

In general in my test, noone of the site with javascripts I visited work correctly!

I have been unable to confirm www.myspace.com javascript problem as quote on
quote "serious", However I get the errors:
Error getting url widget service: TypeError: Components.classes[progid] has no
properties

JavaScript error: 
http://www.myspace.com/Index.asp line 221: 

Not Necessarily in that order.

However I noticed that my site, http://sabotaged.cjb.net or
http://vining.cjb.net and even http://home.excite.com's javascript code keeps
erroring and fails to display the banner popup ad or whatever home.excite.com
uses javascript for (was just looking for something to test :)

JavaScript error: 
 line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component does not have requested
interface"  code: "-2147467262" nsresult: "0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE)" 
location: "<unknown>"]

was the error that showed up 3-4 times in the debug window when accessing all
those pages.

When i went to edit->preferences->debug it disables the OK button only allowing
me to click cancel, and gives me the error when i change highlighting debug to
Mail and News or something other:

JavaScript error: 
chrome://global/content/nsWidgetStateManager.js line 130: elements[i] has no
properties

It doesn't seem to care what site I visit for that error, whether there's
JScript or not.

I'm using a pretty standard distribution of Slackware 7.1, I've only upgraded
the compiler from egcs to gnu gcc 2.95.2, running BuildID 2000071221

Wrong category.
I am moving this bug to "Java-script"

i think this is dup of 45357

[Mike Shaver (:shaver -- probably not reading bugmail closely)]

The errors you're seeing aren't likely related to the JavaScript engine -- or
even the DOM, the other usual suspect.  When I see ``widgetStateManager.js'', I
start thinking of Ben (and whipped cream, but that's another story).

I see that this seems to be fixed now for Linux 2000072508 on PC (but I was
having this problem before).  Reporter: can you confirm that it works on Sun as
well?
