when document.write is used to display the contents of <OL type=1>, nothing is
displayed

Expected Results:
should display a 1

HTML DOM bugs are M11/P2 for Vidur.

Comment 4

[Chad House]

The original testcase uses:

  var oList=document.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[1];

which might cause problems since the BODY element is actually:

  document.firstChild.childNodes[2]

in more recent builds because the whitespace between HEAD and BODY is
document.firstChild.childNodes[1] (see bug 17026).

Attaching revised testcase that uses getElementById to ensure we get the OL
nodes. When tested with Linux (RH6.0) build 1999102608, the type of the first
list (<ol id="first" type="1">) is null as indicated in the original bug report.

Moving to M12 as this is relatively higher priority (DOM1 tree representation
completeness).
