Below is the offending javascript code (it is tied to a secure website but to 
get to it, you go through "window.open()", part of "function 
popUpDNASeqOrderForm()".  I have no problem getting the the initial secure 
website that lists the options:  
https://www.hci.utah.edu/orderTracking/index.html  so konqueror is not having 
any problem here (mozilla is either VEERRRY slow to load the page - you MUST 
have the PSM installed and run mozilla as root, so far as I have 
experienced).  It is crapping out when you make a selection - like "Initiate 
DNA Sequencing Request".  A javascript-based login window should appear.  It 
doesn't.  Konqueror doesn't even TRY to load it and fail.  It just does 
nothing - it is a javascript error involving window.open().
The offending code is contained herein:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
   <TITLE>Order Tracking</TITLE>
        <SCRIPT language=javascript>
    function popUpDNASeqOrderForm()
        {
        window.open('https://www.hci.utah.edu/orderTracking/dnaSequencingRequest.stm'
,'DNASeqOrder','toolbar=yes,location=no,menubar=yes,directories=no,status=yes,
scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=640,height=480');
    }
        </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
...etc.

Netscape can do it without hitch.  Mozilla cannot do it very well - slowly 
and only if you are root (see above).  Konqueror cannot do it.  

Konqueror also will not properly execute the javascript in the web-based 
Outlook email webpage that I must use to access my school email when away.  
That page is used commonly wherever web-based outlook mail is used (in the 
Air Force, for instance) and it is loaded/dependent upon javascript.  It is 
not a simple M$ perversion of javascript since netscape can handle it without 
problems.  Mozilla can handle it too - no secure webpage/SSL stuff involved.  
Konqueror cannot.  It can display the basic interface but none of the buttons 
work and you cannot view the actual mail, just the titles.  Trying to select 
a post to view leads to nothing.  It should open a window with the body of 
the message in it.  Another javascript problem in regards to Konqueror and 
Konqueror alone.  

Perhaps KDE should use the exact javascript support code that netscape uses, 
since it works consistently, rather than creating their own partially 
functional version.
