Title

Unsupported JavaScript URLs fail silently (Adobe AIR)Products affected

Issue

Unsupported URL schemesfail silently when called from JavaScript.

For example, <a href=javascript:alert()> does not generate an error message or alert.

Reason

Unsupported URL schemes are not intended to execute in Adobe AIR.

Attempts to run such JavaScript cannot be made to generate error messages or alerts at this time. This is a known limitation of Adobe AIR 1.0, and may be addressed in a future release.
