The test case below works correctly with M11 and IE 5.01. It breaks with M12
and the nightly build ID 1999122108.
I'm running Windows 2000 Professional RC2. This bug is extremely important
because it makes it impossible to build certain DHTML pages that are backwards
compatible with Navigator 4.x.
<html>
<body>
<p>This should be the only visible text when the page has loaded, and is with
M11.</p>
<div id="DescriptionText1">
<p>This paragraph disappears.</p>
</div>
<layer>
<div id="DescriptionText2">
<p>This is visible in M12 -- it should have disappeared.</p>
</div>
</layer>
<div id="DescriptionText3">
<layer>
<p>This is visible in M12 -- it should have disappeared.</p>
<layer>
</div>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var n = document.getElementById("DescriptionText1");
while (n.hasChildNodes())
n.removeChild(n.firstChild);
n = document.getElementById("DescriptionText2");
while (n.hasChildNodes())
n.removeChild(n.firstChild);
n = document.getElementById("DescriptionText3");
while (n.hasChildNodes())
n.removeChild(n.firstChild);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Checked in a partial fix on 12/22/1999. Forgot to remove code in the DOMFactory
that used to create special script objects for layer/ilayer. The script now runs
to completion and we remove the content correctly. I suspect that this should be
enough for creating backward compatible pages.
Turns out that there's still a layout issue that prevents the removal of frames
from working correctly. From what I understand, the frame construction code
creates an anonymous block frame for an inline that contains a block (as is the
case with the P inside the LAYER element). Removal of the block from the inline
doesn't seem to correctly fix the frame tree. Reassigning to the block bug bucket.
If I understand Vidur correctly, he's fixed the bulk of this problem such that
the test case works as expected. So all that remains is cleaning up some memory
issues having to do with destroying frames properly. That can wait until after
beta. Marking M16. Vidur, if I misunderstood you could you please let me know.
Summary: frame removal of block inside inline doesn't work → [BLOCK] frame removal of block inside inline doesn't work
I think this is another WCB problem. Nisheeth, if I'm wrong just dump it back
in my pile.
