confirming with win2k build 20010724..

JS Console
Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to access property

Worksforme. Maybe the page has changed. They were probably trying to do some
kind of cross-host DOM access; we generally don't allow that.

I just check the page. It still doesn't work for Mozilla 20010726.

reopening
I see this with win2k build 20010726.. and a new profile

They use <a 
href="javascript:gotoPage('/news/65/24/652406_2_b5gif.html')">Continues</a>... ]

There is no cross-host dom access...

Looks like the offending property is history.length, marking dup...

The above url and the page are not reachable anymore. The dup 86984 is fixed though.

Verified on 2001-10-10-branch build on WinNT.
