Hello,

I found a bug in the new javascript 1.5 version of SpiderMonkey. If you 
try to use the export/import statements (which are very usefull if you 
using security scripts in dynamic page generation context), the new 
version of mozilla (1.7) does not reconize anymore thoses statements 
whereas the version 1.6 does.

I saw in http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/src/jsconfig.h#457 
that this functionnality seems to be desactivated in new 1.5 javascript 
version, is this normal ?

Is there a another way to call a signed javascript function in a 
non-signed html page ?

I've signal a bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249211 at 
the end of last month, but I haven't got any reply for the moment...

For thoses who are interested in writing signed Javascript functions :

Please help, we are stuck with this problem since 2 weeks.

Thanks,

David
