User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3

In Firefox 1.5(.0.2 and lower, IIRC), generating E4X XML like <tag {expression}="constant" attr2="constant"/> would allow a dynamically named attribute to be set to some constant value. In Firefox 1.5.0.3, this raises an "invalid XML tag syntax" error. Reordering attr2 to be listed prior to the dynamic expression does not trigger the bug.

For the curious, this bug was encountered in a real-world environment, where the code in question looked like this:

      <input type="checkbox" id={'o'+i} {(m.o?'':'un')+'checked'}="yes"
	     title="Override the original favicon with this icon."
	     style="position:absolute; margin:5px 4px; padding:0;"/>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
javascript:try{alert( <tag {0?"a":"b"}="c" d="e"/>.toXMLString() )}catch(E){ alert(E) }
Actual Results:  
SyntaxError: invalid XML tag syntax

Expected Results:  
<tag b="c" d="e"/>

Attached patch FixSplinter Review
If we fail to fold the attribute name, we currently aren't able to properly fold the attribute value. Fixing this is not trivial (it'll require making the code generator understand what's going on) and is generally more work than is worth it.

Actually, this is a regression from an earlier 1.8.0.x release, do we want this patch (or the patch with the added comment) on that branch?

Fix

Dan, I'd like to urge you to take this regression fix for 1.8.0.5.  It's safe, and given that, we should try to upgrade people away from the regression ASAP.
