That case is obscure, though (I mean, it can only happen if you literally replace the <body> or <frameset> element with something else, like a <div>... and while I acknowledge that the Web is a wild, wild place, I doubt there are many pages that actually do that and, on top of that, depend on activeElement returning null). It seems simpler to just try to use "the body element" (as defined in the HTML spec, it's not a <body> necessarily), and if that fails, use the root if there is one or null otherwise.

Yeah, that would hurt the ability to use HTML from other namespaces (since the HTML helper stuff on the Document would be missing). -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
