The |window| object is referred to as "Window" in CAPS error messages. Since JS is case-sensitive, this should be spelled as "window" instead. For an example, see bug 207271, where the user got this error message: Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.check I'm guessing that this message is generated from CAPS code; if not, please reassign as necessary; thanks -

It's from CAPS all right, but Window refers to the Window class, not the window object being accessed. The error message is reporting the class name. Do you think it would make more sense to report the name of the object being accessed, rather than its class? We could probably do this, but it would require more JS engine tricks.

Yes, report the object -- the property does not belong to the Window constructor object, after all. /be

brendan: i was hoping for hints var _window=window; _window.openDialog(); does anything even know the 'right' name for _window?

So I think I need to use js_DecompileValueGenerator from the caps code which generates the error. The only thing is I'm not quite sure how to use it just yet. Still working on that... ;-)
