I'm trying to use the JavaScript tools in Eclipse 3.4.1 for the first
time. I've created a JavaScript project, I've enabled "Web Based
JavaScript Support", and I've added the FireFox Browser Support Library to
my libraries.

I get spurious errors from the JavaScript editor when I use a property
that is not part of the ECMA 3 Browser Support library Element, but it is
specified in the FireFox Browser Support Library
HTML[Html|Body|Head|Script]Element.

The example is below. If I try to use the scrollTop property, I get
warnings on getElementById (cannot convert from Element to __body0), and
tagName (cannot be resolved or is not a field), and on appendChild (the
function appendChild is undefined for the type __body0). With the usage
of scrollTop commented out, there are no errors or warnings in the code.

I tried re-ordering the support libraries, but that then gave errors on
most of the DOM functions.

What am I missing to be able to use scrollTop without error?
Thanks very much,
John

--------------------

var article = ["Hey there!", "Hi there!", "Ho there!"];

function start() {

var body = document.getElementById('body');
var name = body.tagName;

// body.scrollTop = 0; // remove comment on line

body.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Body is a: " + name));
for ( var i = 0; i < article.length; i++) {
var listitem = document.createElement('div');
listitem.appendChild(document.createTextNode(article[i]));
body.appendChild(listitem);
}
}

You're not missing anything, we're working through as many of these
scenarios as we can, as fast as we can. This one is bug 244760.

Thanks Nitin. I'll add some test cases to the bug you reference.
