Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

If you append a new element (created with method createElement, appended with
method appendChild) with a style attribute (defined with method setAttribute) to
a XUL document, style attribute is not applied.

But there is a stange behavior : if you apply setAttribute after appending, it
works well !?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open index.html (attachment 'repporter test case')
2. click on 'test before append XUL'

Actual Results:  
There is no yellow box.


Expected Results:  
There should be a yellow box, as for 'test after append XUL' or 'test before
append HTML'

Workarond is not easy because it's not natural to set style attribute after
appending and it prevents some code encapsulation.
