Testcase
440 bytes, text/html
Details 
When setting .innerHTML on html elements that should be empty - eg img, input,
embed - you get inside the element not only the text, but also an extra element,
the element that's being set .innerHTML on.
See the upcoming testcase to see what I mean. Also check the result of the
testcase with the DOM Inspector.
With the testcase, I would not expect the extra <img> inside the <img>.

This might be related to bug 228920, where a <col> becomes a container.

    
    

    
  
So is the problem in CreateContextualFragment, or in inserting it into the DOM?

    
  
Depends on: 328930

    
    

    
  
whether bug 396001 is related to this?

    
    

    
  
Not really, no.
