Description

FF3 beta4

i've got the following function in the target file

function test() { this.x = 1; }

calling "new unsafeWindow.test()" in my gm script file, causes "not enough arguments" error message in the browser's error console and stops.

Given security restrictions, I don't think this sort of thing will ever work.

WFH:

page: <script> function test() { this.x = 1; alert('hi'); } </script>

script: unsafeWindow.test();

Replying to boo..@youngpup.net:

script: unsafeWindow.test();

The description does not ask to be able to call the function "test" but rather to create the object "test": "new unsafeWindow.test()"

as aranti said. Calling the function works but does not create an object. The proper attempt to do this would be:

page: <script> function test() { this.x = 1; alert('hi'); } </script>

script: var x = new unsafeWindow.test();

If it's a "won't be fixed" for the reason mentioned by aranti, then it should be closed indicating that.

I should note that a workaround would be to load the script within the GM script's context, by use of GM_xmlhttpRequest and eval. I should also note that I'm having issues trying to use that technique and still be able to use GM_xmlhttpRequest later on after the script loads, though.
