http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11204 --- Comment #6 from Boris Zbarsky <bzbarsky@mit.edu> 2010-11-03 14:18:39 UTC --- > getElementById for example returns any element Any element with that ID. HTML, MathML, SVG all define an "id" attribute of type ID. Elements in other namespaces do not, and would not be returned by getElementById just because they have an attribute named "id". Michael, you're right. But the reason this happens is pretty simple. There are more DOM consumers than just HTML. So HTML can't unilaterally dictate what all DOM consumers must do. In particular, taken at face value this bug requires that all DOM processors implement .innerHTML on any DOM nodes they support. That's a core DOM change that needs to be figured out in a wider context, and with more input, than just HTML. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
