Now it works

Maybe it was my fault at the javascript code. Now it works. It still is a
regression, but maybe a 'good' regression. If you think the bug has to be close
feel free to do it.

I kind of doubt that the first test case works in IE, but I won't reboot

Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2004-01-12 13:19:45 UTC

your #1 works in IE but it doesn't work in mozilla, so I'm not suprised

test case that works with konq 3.2 

this is a fun bug: it works with konqueror 3.2, but neither with mozilla nor IE

Comment 6 David Faure 2004-01-26 20:00:06 UTC

OK #5 is because "window.what" works. It shouldn't. 
I think window.<name> is only for images, forms and applets, just like document.<name>. I'm working on a patch.

Comment 7 David Faure 2004-01-27 01:28:00 UTC

OK, back to #1, the conclusion is that on IE, calling the input element
by name only works when the input field isn't in a form. Kind of a
"toplevel" field (those inside a form being accessible via
formname.inputname).

Can someone check in IE what this code shows?

function search() {
  if (this.what) alert("this.what exists. this="+this);
  if (window.what) alert("window.what exists");
  if (document.what) alert("document.what exists");
  alert("document.forms.length="+document.forms.length);
  if (document.forms[0].what) alert("document.forms[0].what exists");
}

Comment 8 Stephan Kulow 2004-01-27 08:45:06 UTC

this.what exists. this=[object]
window.what exists
document.forms.length=0

Comment 9 Albert Astals Cid 2013-08-01 22:27:00 UTC

Since testcase 1 does not work in firefox nor on chromium we'll assume my javascript in 2003 was worse than the one it is 10 years later, and its hard :D
