25013 - INPUT(type "radio") not created properly via DOM

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 17544

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Michael Ryan]

Appending a radio control as a child of a span as in the following code does 
not work( it does on IE Explorer).  An empty span is created instead and the 
text nodes actually show up below the span.



-- the object ctrlSpan is already created as a span

		//create span to hold autoplay information
		var autoPlaySpan = null;
		autoPlaySpan = doc.createElement("SPAN");
		autoPlaySpan.className = "autoPlaySpan";
		setObjectRect( autoPlaySpan, "45px", "30px", "400px", "25px");
		
			//append text node with the words "Auto Play"
			autoPlaySpan.appendChild( doc.createTextNode( 
oStringTable.kVocabAutoPlay ) );
			
			
			
				//add segment radio button
				//first create span to hold segment radio 
control
				var segRadioSpan = null;
				segRadioSpan = doc.createElement("SPAN");
				segRadioSpan.className = "vocabRadioCtrl 
clickable";
				segRadioSpan.title = oStringTable.kSegRadioTip;
				segRadioSpan.onclick = handleSegRadioClick;
				setObjectRect( 
segRadioSpan, "0px", "70px", "80px", "25px");
			
					var segRadio = doc.createElement
("INPUT");
					segRadio.type = "radio";
					segRadio.name = "autoPlayRadios";
					segRadio.id   = "segRadio"
			 			
				if (segRadio != null)
				{
					segRadioSpan.appendChild(segRadio);
					segRadioSpan.appendChild( 
doc.createTextNode( oStringTable.kVocabSegment ) );
				}
			
				if (segRadioSpan != null)
				{
					autoPlaySpan.appendChild( 
segRadioSpan );
				}

--- more code ---
		if (autoPlaySpan != null)
			ctrlSpan.appendChild( autoPlaySpan );

	
		if (ctrlSpan != null)
			doc.body.appendChild(ctrlSpan);

The problem is that the type attribute is speced as being readonly. The fix is 
to allow it to be settable at least if a frame hasn't yet been created for it.
