527630 - Firefox does not execute javascript method and debug suggests "document.get..."...

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[j]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.5.5

example:- 

Function function() {
player.play();}

(id=player)

does not work, debug says line 2 "not a function" and suggests "document.get..."
Code works perfectly on IE, and is a simple java method. There is no reason to be using a "get..." method because the engine will run faster if you type the variables in anyway, rather than referring to something elsewhere in the RAM. That it has become a "w3 standard..." is due to superflous bad codeing, and has compromised the minimal functional workings of java.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.method() inside a function {}
2specify id to call .method on
3.specify id
Actual Results:  
does not work, debug says "not a function" and suggests "document.get..."

Expected Results:  
should run perfectly as in IE or sun java.

Old bug without a proper test case, therefore closing.
