Bug 13702 – JavaScript error on Get A Mac TV Ads page

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: New Bugs

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

* SUMMARY
JavaScript error using Get A Mac web page.  See Steps to Reproduce for details.  Not sure if this is a web site issue or a browser issue, but Firefox 2.0.0.3 has a related problem (complains about needing QuickTime 7 when it's already installed, along with a JavaScript error).

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Safari/WebKit.
2. Go to URL:  http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/
3. Scroll down, and click the right arrow (next to the row of videos) two times.  (Don't double-click, click once, wait for the videos to scroll, then click again.  You may do this while the default movie on the page is playing.)
4. Click on one of the videos in the row to play it.

* EXPECTED RESULTS
The video that was clicked on should start playing.

* ACTUAL RESULTS
A JavaScript error occurs.

* REGRESSION
Actual results seen with a local debug build of WebKit r21427 with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.9 (8P135).  Have not tested shipping Safari/WebKit alone.

* NOTES
See also Bug 13653 for a different issue on the same page.

Here's the error from the JavaScript console:

This occurs in shipping Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.9 (8P135) as well.

Opera 9.10 exhibits the same behavior as Firefox 2.0.0.3.

Per comment 2, this doesn't seem to be a WebKit issue, does it?

Nope.
