User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050603 Firefox/1.0+

DOM operations on elements with attributes are now returning incorrect values
for nodeValues

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Install 2005-06-03-06 Deer Park nighlty build with DOM inspector option.
2) Launch firefox, default www.google.com/firefox page appears
3) Open DOM Inspector
4) Inspect nodes, the node attributes are incorrect
Actual Results:  
The node attributes are incorrect

Expected Results:  
The node attributes should have been correct

Originally discovered when the following JS function started returning incorrect
values:

function getNodeAttr(node, attr_name) {
	var attr_val = "";
	var attr_node = node.attributes.getNamedItem(attr_name);
	if (attr_node) attr_val = attr_node.nodeValue;
	return attr_val;
}

The fact that the problem is also showing up in the DOM inspector confirms that
it looks like a new DOM bug.

Was this fixed in bug 296490? 
20050604 builds should have that fix.
