Probably a duplicate of bug 22820.

Since you're serving the data as text/xml mozilla will, and should, create an
XML document for you, and calling createElement('img') on an XML document will
just create a vanilla XML element for you, and the 'src' attribute doesn't mean
anything to a vanilla XML element. To make your code work when served as XML you
must call createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/', 'img') to create an
HTML (or XHTML, really) img tag that will actually load the image off the network.

INVALID.

How about serving it as application/xhtml+xml? Then mozilla should create an
HTML element, is that right? I just refer to

Attachment: same testcase served as application/xhtml+xml

Comment 8

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

Yep, when served as application/xhtml+xml your testcase should work, but it
doesn't currently work due to bug 111514.
