[Greasemonkey] Re: Gm Bug in Firefox 1.5.0.4

Tue Jun 6 19:49:02 EDT 2006

To add a bit what I am/was doing:

My GM script has a configuration 'dialog' which is actually a new page
that gets created by the script when I click on a button that is added
to the original window:

function makeManageFunc(DB, title, size) {
     return function manage(ev) {
     	var theWindow = window.open("Manage", title, size);
     	//theWindow.focus();
     	var theDoc = theWindow.document;
     	theDoc.writeln('<html><head></head>'
                       + '<body bgColor="grey">'
                       + '<h1  style="text-align: center;" '
                       + 'id="Manage">'
     	              + title
     	              + '</h1>')
         theDoc.writeln('</body></html>')
         theDoc.close()
         ev.preventDefault();
     }
}

The function is used in the EvenListener and gets executed onclick.

That page has the same URL as the generating page and my script checks
for id="Manage" whether this is the original page or the configuration
dialog. If it is the configuration dialog, it creates all the form fields.

This does not happen anymore.

Checking with the DOM-Inspector both URLs are still identical as they 
used to be.

When the second page gets created the error console shows the following 
error:

Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to get property 
XULElement.accessKey' when calling method: 
[nsIDOMXULLabelElement::accessKey]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e 
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "JS frame :: <unknown 
filename> :: manage :: line 203"  data: no]

Any idea?

Cheers, Andre
