Description _ krystyna 2008-04-18 02:23:29 UTC 
Build #180 - thursday afternoon

Attaching project to demonstrate.

Delete all previous watches and breakpoints and restart IDE

1. set breakpoint on line 14 of test.html of attached project line: a = "Hello from head";
2. run debug project
3. set new watch expression 
   a + b 
4. click on link in browser "script in head"
5. start stepping and watch expression 
6. ok the alert that comes up
>expect watch to update to "Hello from head2"
but stays at "<Uknown in current context>"

watch expression works correctly in firebug.

Joelle evaluated this yesterday. We found that in this test case, firebug 
does not recognize that it has gone out of scope. Adding another statement
to the script and stepping proves this. 

Closing.
