282870 - innerHTML inserts bogus form elements when inserting form controls

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 283036

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

Description

[Bob Clary [:bc] (inactive)]

Sometime after 2005-02-12, the trunk stopped running the inline examples in the
javascript bootcamp. The problem appears to be when a dynamcally created div has
its contents set to a select element using innerHTML. A bogus form element is
wrapped around the select.

Testcase coming up.

1. open testcase
2. click execute
3. alert that element not found, followed by alert of innerHTML showing bogus
form.

Blake, do you know what might have caused this?

I think it was me that caused this. :-(
I'm going to mark this a duplicate of bug 283036 even though this was filed
first, because that one got more discussion first. Sorry!
