Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 176926

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021029

I'm surprised that I can't find another report about this problem. But since I
can't, I am filing this one.

Using a statement such as `document.images[0].src = imageObject.src;` to change
an image's src does not have any visible effect, and does not appear to change
the src property of the specified image element (i.e., the image element reports
the same src property before and after the swap).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open index.html from the attached test case.
2. Mouse over the image. The image's colors should invert.
3. Mouse out of the image. The original image should be restored.

Actual Results:  
The image is unchanged (as it does, for example, in Mozilla 1.1).

Expected Results:  
The image's colors should invert.

I made sure that my Scripts & Plugins prefs allowed "Change images".

     Expected Results:
