Procedure: View the second link in the attached testcase. Expected: Entities are converted to their appropriate symbols before being interpreted by the JavaScript engine. Alert dialog appears with entities converted to their respective values, or failing that, alert dialog displays entity text. Actual: Alert dialog is not displayed at all. Build: 20010508 Win98
Keywords: testcase
I get: JavaScript error: line 0: syntax error Error loading URL javascript:info(%27Divide:%20%F7%20Copyright:%20%A9%20Paragraph:%20%B6%27) : 2152924149 This looks very familiar...
Whiteboard: DUPEME
The alert doesn't come up because of the error in the JavaScript Console: Error: syntax error Source Code: info(%27Divide:%20%F7%20Copyright:%20%A9%20Paragraph:%20%B6%27) Compare the testcase in bug 69043; you get a similar error. Duping this bug, as bug 69043, against bug 51355 "Moz escapes javascript: urls containing non-ASCII chars " *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 51355 ***
