Javascript code is not replecable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to match something in a javascript and replace it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the expected behavior would be to have the javascript working with the
replaced part. If you look into the source code, the substitution works,
but I guess the Javascript is already loaded when this happen and as such
it doesnt change the natural behavior.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.10.0

Can you provide a specific example?

JavaScript is interpreted, and as such, if the code is changed the behaviour 
should
change too. But I haven't tried.

You can try this code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function openWindows() {
var nextURL = "http://www.google.com";
var inventoryView = window.open
(nextURL,'',"toolbar=0,status=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=650,height=500");
}
</SCRIPT>

<A HREF="javascript:openWindows();">TEST</A>

try to change the website, or one of the parameter the javascript will continue 
to 
open the same page in the same size.

Well, yes, it continues to open Google. I suppose that although the text of the
script is changed, it isn't reparsed and the function remains the same. I don't 
know
if the reparsing can be forced, but I will look what can be done.

Tried version 0.12.2 on FFox8 - still no luck with JavaScript. I need to mock 
some javascript functions in order to proceed with Selenium automated testing 
of large web project.

I still don't know how to solve it, sorry :(

I've got a functional (but long) workaround in Issue 75

Instead of altering existing functions in the HTML, re-define the complete 
function with your changes.

Good news! I have found a way to solve this, different from mpheyse's solution, 
and it will be included in next release. It doesn't solve issue 75, though, but 
I will work on that later.

Fixed in r163. The solution has been to replace each changed script node (or 
each script node in HTML) with a newly created one with the changed code. I 
have left it as an option disabled by default, so it doesn't bother users that 
don't want to change scripts. Also, by the moment it applies only to scripts in 
the body, as the rest the substitutions, but the solution will work when I 
allow substitutions in the head.

The fix will be included in the next release. If you encounter any problem with 
this new option, please create a new bug report.
