103928 - onload fires too early

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XBL, defect)

Description

[jag (Peter Annema)]

Spin-off from bug 92635.

hyatt and I looked at this, and it turns out that in this one case described in
bug 92635, the checkbox.css loaded from the checkbox binding doesn't get
registered with the document's loadgroup 'coz at that time the loadgroup is
already gone (bad!). The net result of this is that |onload| isn't waiting for
the checkbox binding to attach, and thus causing sizing problems and the
checkbox's properties to not be available from onload.

Hmm?  How does that happen, exactly?  Do binding loads themselves end up in the
document's loadgroup?

Is this till a problem?
Both dependent bugs are closed.

XBL is now disabled in Firefox (Bug 1583314) and is in the process of being removed from Gecko (Bug 1566221), so closing bugs requesting changes to its implementation as wontfix.
