pure javascript in favorites fail

hi.

i was just trying to write some javascript favlets and
found that some of the most basic js-methods are behaving
differently when executed from a bookmark/favorite than
when placed in a document.

eg. javascript:alert('hi');window.open
('foo','bar','status=no');

will NOT execute when placed as a favorite. obviously,
there is no problem with it, when running from within an
html document. (to place as faviourite, write a doc with
the above line as a link and drag it to the
links/favorites)

similar problems can be found in document.createStyleSheet
().

does anyone know where to find information regarding these
inconsistencies?
 
Hi,

It works for me the same way:

- in the address bar
- in the favorites folder
- in the favorites folder

even if the two latest additions warn me that I'm adding a favorite that
might not be safe. You might check your security settings.

I have a JS favorite (by www.rae.es) I use very often that works very well
from the favorite toolbar.

Kind regards
