 The %3 is the real killer. Try adding "TypeError: Attempted to access 
'document' property on undefined object (result of expression 
objWin.document)" in the middle of an already long url. ;)   In an ideal 
world all of these are on seperate lines, and the \n's make it all pretty 
clean.

Im not sure I follow what the QString::number changes?  Could you please 
explain that a bit more?

Im inclined to disagree that its the main problem, since if the error message 
is embedded in the URL the sqeeze (what brought me to the conclusion that the 
real error was the message in the url) will hide the actual error message.  
If the error message is outside the url though that might fix the reimaining 
issues with the dialog though.

Regardless, I see no reason why not to fix it, if there is an easy fix.
