189467 - Node.nextSibling does not get nextSibling

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 26179

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Bart Declercq]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

In an onclick event I do "var obj = obj.nextSibling;", I expect the next node
but in stead get something else (obj.nodeType gives "3" as the response.

Doing var obj = obj.nextSibling.nextSibling; gets me to the nextSibling
correctly and the DomInspector shows a #text "object" as the first node
following my <h1></h1>.

Placing the tags on one line gives the correct result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a HTML document with two sibling elements in the body, with a CR/LF
between them.
2. in the onclick event of the first element, retrieve the nextSibling and
examine it.


Actual Results:  
It apparently retrieves the CR/LF as a Node in the DOM-tree.

Expected Results:  
CR/LF should be ignored as whitespace

The nextSibling is correct....
