result of expression document.querySelectorAll().forEach is not an object with KHTML 3.5.2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The problem can be reproduced by using Konqueror 3.5.2 to load the test
case provided in issue 75 with Konqueror 3.5.2.  It immediately displays
the following message:

"An error occurred while attempting to run a script on this page.

"[path to test case] line 14:
TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression
document.querySelectorAll(".Test").forEach) is not an object. Cannot be
called."

I've spent a couple of hours trying to understand this, but my JavaScript
skills are inadequate.  I'm happy to attempt to follow any directions that
might help chase it down.  Or, since Konqueror is running in a VMWare
virtual machine, I might be able to put the VM image somewhere.  Someone
with better skills could then use the free VMWare player to diagnose the
problem.

"with Konqueror 3.5.2" at the end of the first sentence above should be 
ignored. Bad
editing.

Anyone who wants to look into this but does not have Konqueror can download a 
Kubuntu
VMWare image from http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/.  It is much smaller than 
my
Gentoo VM, is freely available immediately, and has the advantage of being a 
stock
build. Since Gentoo is a source-based distro, there's a remote possibility that
Konqueror was built improperly. I'm downloading Kubuntu 7.10 to test that 
possibility.

VMWare Player is available from http://www.vmware.com/download/player/.

OK, I can reproduce the problem using a Kubuntu 7.10 VM from the site listed 
above. 
The Konqueror web browser must be configured to report the error, however.  
Launch
Konqueror, select "Settings" > "Configure Konqueror..." from the menu, click 
"Java &
JavaScript" in the left pane, click the "JavaScript" tab in the right pane, 
check
"Report errors" (and "Enable debugger" if you want), and then click "OK."  Load 
the
test case and the error should be reported.

It's possible (probable?) that the problem is a bug in KHTML.  If so, it can be
reported at bugs.kde.org, with product = "konqueror" and component = "khtml 
ecma" (I
think).  There's a bug stating that extjs doesn't work with Konqueror, which 
could
conceivably be related; see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144369.

I'll shut up now, unless I can provide more specifics about what's failing.

I was wrong.  I cannot reproduce this problem with the Kubuntu 7.10 VM, which
includes KDE 3.5.8.  I wasn't paying close enough attention to the error I was
getting and when I was getting it.  The test case for issue 75 fails the same 
way in
Konqueror 3.5.8 that it does with other browsers, as it should.  The error 
originally
reported in this issue does not occur with this version of Konqueror.

As far as I'm concerned, this issue can be closed as WontFix (or, at a minimum,
marked low priority).  I don't think it makes a lot of sense to try to chase 
down and
work around a bug in a little-used browser when it was apparently fixed some 
time
ago.  I suspect that Konqueror users are more likely to stay current than, say, 
IE users.

Thanks for all the detective work. I'll still look into the bug on my linux 
box. If I
can recreate it then I'll try to fix it.

I couldn't recreate it on my setup. I'm going to mark this as "Won't Fix" on the
basis that it's too trivial. :-)
