Description

[Andreas Böckler]

Hi,
i've got a Fireworks-generated Javascript which has worked with 0.9.0
but fails in 0.9.1
hier is the debug message:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMLocation.href]"  nsresult: "0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://localhost/fw_menu.js ::
onMenuItemAction :: line 471"  data: no]
Source File: http://localhost/fw_menu.js
Line: 471

line 471 is:
parent.framename.location.href = url;

Over to DOM 0.

Reporter, could you possibly attach a testcase to this bug using
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/createattachment.cgi?id=86307 ?

Comment 2

[Andreas Böckler]

Attachment: these files reproduces the error in the java script debugger

Comment 3

[Andreas Böckler]

The Attachement is of type application/x-tar:gzip

with mozilla 0.9.0 you should get a SUCCESS in the lower frame, when you click
on a menu item.
mozilla 0.9.1 produces an error.

WinZip doesn't let me open the testcase, it says it's not a valid zip archive.
Anything I did wrong?
One guess without seeing the testcase: Are you setting the frame location to a
page that is not on your domain?

Comment 5

[Andreas Böckler]

Winzip is right. it's no zip-archive... it's a tar.gz-archive..

the ...location.href points to a local file.

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

is this a local file as in "http://localhost/..." or a local file as in
"file:///..." ? 

Comment 7

[Andreas Böckler]

Attachment: here is the test-case as zip-file

Comment 8

[Andreas Böckler]

the url is relative.

when you click on the button in the upper frame (Internet->Provider->Neu)
an alert-box pops up with new url for the lower frame.
but the loading fails

Comment 9

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Hmm.. Does it work if you make the URL absolute?  Looks like we may have a
problem with relative urls and setting location.href...

Comment 10

[Andreas Böckler]

yes...

it works with an absolute url, like:
parent.main.location.href = "http://localhost/success.html"

I'm thinking this bug was a dup of 83332, which was fixed yesterday, could
someone test with a build from this morning?

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

This worksforme now with build 2001-06-20-06.  Marking duplicate.
