Description John Arthorne CLA 2011-03-01 17:38:00 EST 
Steps:

1) Create a project
2) Add it as a favorite
3) Delete the project
4) Click on the favorite

-> Blank screen. There is a 404 error from the server (expected), but it doesn't get displayed to the user. I have traced the error back as far as line 96 of explorer-table.js:

									dojo.place(document.createTextNode("Sorry, an error occurred: " + error.message), progress, "only");


This line gets executed, but the node does not appear.

Marking as M6 candidate.

The problem was connected probably to some refactoring. Loading progress did not display as well, because the "progress" div was not placed on the explorer correctly.

The defect applied to explorer only? From what I saw other UIs have it's own error handling that worked (for instance editor displays an error instead of file contents).
