Re: [HtmlUnit] com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.ScriptException: Cannot create property

[<Mik...@su...>]

Unfortunatley I have JavaScript code that does just that, form_main.action.value
="foo", and it works in IE 5.5 and Netscape 4.79.   However, this experience has
convinced me that naming an input element 'action' is probably not a great idea.

Hi Mike,

Strangely enough, I put a fix in for this bug this week. ;-)

I'm not sure yet what the browsers do in this case but I've changed
HtmlUnit so that it doesn't create a property with the name "action"
(same behaviour with "id" btw).  So you won't be able to do things like
form_main.action.value="foo" but at least it doesn't blow up anymore.
