navigator.preference(prefName[, setValue]) method returns the value of
preference. If you use this method to set the value, it returns the new value.

In this case [The test case I'm providing] I'm trying to set "Enable Javascript"
preference to "true", so this method is supposed to return "true", but it does
not return anything.

Product: seamonkey [Apprunner/ Viewer]
Build: 1999-05-27-08.

Steps to reproduce bug:
1] Please copy code I'm providing. Save it as HTML file.
2] Open this HTML file in viewer as well as apprunner.
3] It should print the return value of method
navigator.preference(javascript.enabled,true).

Expected Results:
Preference(javascript.enabled) = true

Actual Results:
Preference(javascript.enabled) =

CODE:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body >
<form name="workform">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">
document.writeln("<h3>");
document.writeln("Navigator Properties");
document.writeln("</h3>");
document.writeln("<br>");
document.writeln("Preference(javascript.enabled) = ");
document.writeln(navigator.preference(javascript.enabled,true));
document.writeln("<br>");
</SCRIPT>
</form>
</body>

Fixed on 9/26/1999. Note that the fix involves querying the preferences library.
I'm not sure where preferences are stored for us for now and whether the
returned values will match those for 4.x, but my part of the bug is definitely
done.
