When I load the following code (form that only contains hidden fields), this error appear:
Error: document.getElementById("fm") has no properties
If I put some text or non input hidden the code works fine
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Check this code
<form name="fm" id="fm" action="javascript:alert('hello');" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="urlRetorno" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="salir" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="urlRel" value="javascrit:window.close()">
<input type="hidden" name="status" value="">
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById("fm").submit();
</script>
if you replace for this
<form name="fm" id="fm" action="javascript:alert('hello');" method="get">
TEXT
<input type="hidden" name="urlRetorno" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="salir" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="urlRel" value="javascrit:window.close()">
<input type="hidden" name="status" value="">
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById("fm").submit();
</script>
It load correctly

With this testcase, Gecko's HTML parser puts the script in HEAD and the div in BODY, so the script gets evaluated first and can't see the div. Nasty!
Note that this goes away if you add text to the div (consistent with comment 0) or if you add a <body> at the top.

1.9 _would have_ been a good time to fix this, too...

If that's really a dupe, then the summary of the other bug should be changed.
