According to W3C, the cite attribute of blockquote is is a URI that designates a
source document or message:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html#edef-BLOCKQUOTE
However, the HTML parser of Mozilla doesn't interpreted it as URI. It just treat
it as a string.
Reproducible with Mozilla 1.8a6.
The fix should be easy? Just treat it like "href" attribute of <a> element...
FYI, Opera 8.0 beta handles it correctly.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get the cite attribute of a blockquote element using JavaScript or CSS.
Actual Results:
The value is the original string.
Expected Results:
The string should be URL-encoded. Also relative path should be converted to full
path.
This was originally reported at bug 30376. But Ben Bucksch (see comment 13) said
that I misunderstood that bug. So I better open a new one here.

Please compare this test case with Mozilla and Opera.

Summary: "cite" attribute of blockquote is not interpreted as URI → "cite" attribute of blockquote and q is not interpreted as URI

Compare with Opera 8.0 beta.

Opera's behavior is just completely buggy. getAttribute is guaranteed to return
the original attribute value in the original source. Similarly, the attr()
notation in CSS should return the original value.
Note that the "cite" _property_ is a fully resolved URI in Mozilla, as it should
be. But the attribute value should not be getting munged into a resolved URI.
Note that the "href" attribute of <a> is treated the same way by Mozilla as a
"cite" attribute of <blockquote> or <p> is. So I can only presume you didn't
even bother to test your assertion in comment 0 that "cite" should act like
"href" -- it already does.
Ian, could you open a ticket in the Opera bug database on this bustage, please?

You're right. Sorry for mixing up property and attribute...

That Opera resolves all attributes that it knows are URIs is a known bug.
